Manatees


Name:   Manatee

Native country: Africa / Florida

More information: 



Manatees! They're so cute. I recently went to the Singapore River Safari where the manatees are in the world's largest freshwater aquarium.

Manatees are mammals and are also known as "sea cows". They live for about 60 plus years .Although there are 3 different types of manatees, they all behave and look alike.

Manatees are, sadly, endangered creatures. They are gentle creatures too!

We should start to care about the world and all the endangered creatures before its too late !
