0 a large sea animal, similar to a dugong, found mainly in West Africa and the Caribbean. It has thick skin, a rounded fin at the back end of its body, and two flippers (= flat parts for swimming) at the front.
In total, more than 400 species - whales, dolphins, manatees, herons, egrets, etc. - were endangered.
Because manatees feed on abrasive plants, their molars are often worn down and are continually replaced throughout life, called marching molars.
One conservation strategy in maintaining viable population size is manatee rehabilitation.
Its members are epizooic and live attached to manatees, turtles, marine molluscs, crabs and horseshoe crabs in all tropical and subtropical oceans.
These organisms include mollusks, whales, decapod crustaceans, manatees and several other groups related to these species.
Its population is limited to fresh water habitats and unlike other manatees, it does not venture into salt water.
Other species like the manatee, crocodile, and hippopotamus disappeared with the construction of the dam.
The man who looks like a sweaty manatee.
