Manatees, also known as sea cows, give birth to live young after a gestation period of about 12 months. A mother typically gives birth to a single calf, although twins can occur on rare occasions. The calf is born tail-first to prevent drowning and is able to swim shortly after birth, relying on its mother’s milk for nourishment during the first year of life. Mothers are nurturing, often seen guiding their young to surface for air and teaching them how to find food.
