Actually, the manatee sees in color, but not the same way a human does. The manatee sees varying shades starting in the low violet range, up through the perceptible range of yellow. This is referred to as Wave-range vision and is unique to the manatee and several other water faring creatures. Any other vision adaptation would fail based on the blood temperature of the Manatee.
