Manatees primarily feed during the day, as they are herbivorous and rely on sunlight to help locate their food. They typically graze on aquatic vegetation, such as seagrasses and algae, for several hours throughout the day. Their feeding activity can vary depending on the availability of food and water temperature, but they are generally most active in the morning and late afternoon.
