Manatees and Global Warming

Global warming isn’t a new problem for our world, but it is one that most of us don’t realize the true extend of.

Since the manatee usually lives alone, they don’t have too much of a social structure for us to learn about.

There are still many unanswered questions about the manatee even though they has been plenty of research about them.

While we know the basics of manatee reproduction, researchers admit there is still a great deal to learn about.

The manatee is lucky because it has very few natural predators to worry about.

The African Manatee is the one species that we know the least about. In fact, even getting photos of them is hard.

A manatee is an herbivore, and if you aren’t familiar with that term it means that they consume plants.

There is plenty of scientific evidence to suggest the manatee has been around for more than 60 million years.

Manatees are very social animals and they communicate quite often with each other.

There is no denying that the manatee is a very unique mammal found in the water. Full grown they can weigh up to 1,200 pounds.
