Best Answer

Manatees do not have claws or sharp teeth, so if they are attacked by crocodiles, alligators, sharks and killer whales, they are in trouble. They do not travel in large herds so the others cannot help to warn or protect a manatee from attack. Their only real protection strategy is to remain in shallow water. This way, if they are attacked, it is less likely that the predator can drag them further under the water for longer than the 15 minutes that the manatee can survive without breathing.
