Manatees, being the socile creatures that they are, have virtually no predators in the wild, exept on very rare occasions, such as if food gets scarce for a certain animal, they may try some manatee stew for once. Manatees can be severely injured by boat propellors, though, if boaters are not aware of the manatees in non-boating zones.
