Manatees primarily rely on their size and aquatic habitat for protection from predators, as they are not fast swimmers. They often seek refuge in shallow waters, seagrass beds, or mangroves where their large bodies can blend in with the environment. While they do not exhibit overt hiding behaviors, their natural camouflage helps them evade detection by predators like sharks and crocodiles. Additionally, manatees tend to be solitary or form small groups, which can make it harder for predators to target them.
