How do manatees hide from their predator?
Manatees primarily rely on their size and aquatic habitat for protection from predators, as they are not fast swimmers. They often seek refuge in shallow waters, seagrass beds, or mangroves where their large bodies can blend in with the environment. While they do not exhibit overt hiding behaviors, their natural camouflage helps them evade detection by predators like sharks and crocodiles. Additionally, manatees tend to be solitary or form small groups, which can make it harder for predators to target them.

How will manatee extinction affect their predators?
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.
