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.
