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.

What is a Florida Manatee and please tell you about it and its habitat and everything?
The Florida Manatee is also known as a Sea Cow. The Manatee is a mammal that belongs to the Sirenia species. The Sirenia is thought to have evolved from four legged land animals over 60 million years ago, with the closest relative being an elephant. Manatees are mainly herbivores and they inhabit (warm)shallow, marshy coastal areas and rivers. The Florida manatee is able to live in fresh and salt water. Not all Manatee's are able to inhabit both fresh and salt water. Manatee's live in the Carribean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Amazon Basin and West Africa. The Florida Manatee is on the threatend status in Florida and is endangered at the Federal level.
