Manatees give birth to their young after a gestation period of about 12 months. Typically, a single calf is born, measuring around 3 feet long and weighing 60 to 70 pounds. The mother helps the calf to the surface to breathe shortly after birth, and the calf will nurse from the mother for up to two years while learning to eat aquatic vegetation. Manatees are known to be nurturing, often seen with their young, providing protection and guidance as they grow.
