Some manatee calves can be preyed on by crocodiles, alligators and sharks but their only significant predator is man. Recreational boat propellers account for many manatee injuries and deaths.

How will manatee extinction affect their predators?
To tell the truth, manatees have not very many predators. In fact, the manatee is so large, humans are the only predators. We hunt them, hurt/kill them with our motorboats, and we scar/strangle them with our fishing boats. Also, our floodgates and pollution play a (not so) helping hand. Manatees' extinction will affect us because everyone loves a good trip to SeaWorld, or whatever zoo or aquarium you may visit, to see the manatees. Those blubbery, though loving, creatures will always (hopefully) keep a place in the human heart.
How are manatees adapted for life at sea?
They have flippers to steer themselves and huge flat, spoon shaped tail fins to propel themselves.
