Manatees are primarily freshwater mammals, often found in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. However, they can also inhabit brackish waters and occasionally venture into saltwater environments. The most well-known species, the West Indian manatee, is often seen in coastal regions, but they rely on freshwater habitats for drinking. Overall, while they can tolerate saltwater, manatees are not classified as saltwater mammals.
