what issues do the amazonian manatees face
There are for kinds of manatee: the Amazonian, West Indian, Dwarf, and African Manatee. The West Indian Manatee lives in the Caribbean (I guess you can call that North America). The African Manatee lives in Africa. But both the Amazonian and Dwarf manatees live in South America. Therefore, South America has most manatees.
All species of manatee have fingernails, apart from the the Amazonian manatee and the dugong, they do not have fingernails.
There are three manatee subspecies. The West Indian, West African, and Amazonian.
Sharks eat manatees and SOME people kill them.
The researchers are trying to see how many there are, but won't give us an estimate. But they do think the manatee populaton is increasing.
Manatees are mainly herbivores, but have been known to eat small fish.
Sharks
Most whales will not eat manatees, but the killer whale is an exception. Killer whales will eat manatees, dolphins, turtles, squid, and other aquatic animals.
Manatees eat only sea grass, which is why they are called seacows.
There are three types of manatees. The West Indian (live all along North America's southern and eastern coast) The Amazonian (live in and around the Amazon Basin) And The West African (live on the western coast of Africa.)
