Manatees that live off the coasts of Florida can eat up to a tenth of their own weight a day. Their weight average is 800-1000 pounds. They like underwater grass and water lettuce and eel grass.
Most manatees are found in Florida, there is no exact number.
Florida has the largest population of manatees, having over 3,000 individuals. See related link..
Manatees are warm blooded, and the waters in Florida are much warmer year round. There are actually areas that they like to hang out, even in Florida. Many power plants that use water to cool their machinery vent the water back into the bays (it is actually a clean practice). The manatees will all come hang out in those destinations in the winter to warm up. Sometimes, you can see dozens of them there at once.
