Manatees
Manatees are aquatic mammals found in the coastal regions of North America. They are an endangered species whose habitat has been encroached upon by the recreational water activities of coastal dwellers.

When was the first manatee discovered?
It was discovered in1789 by an explorer going to the north pole his name was Herber Shirley
Yes, from birth. Manatees are huge, elegant mammalian creatures who spend all of their time in the water eating over 60 types of plants, including lettuce and seaweed. Their favorite food is actually kelp. They live anywhere except the Arctic Ocean.

What is an example of producer in a food chain?
Only plants are producers, because they can produce their own food. All food chains start with the Sun, then go to plants (producers), then branch out to any combination of herbivores/omnivores, carnivores and finally end with decomposers, who break down biotic material and make new soil. The nutrients in the soil are used by the producers and then the chain keeps on going.
The previous answer, a rabbit, is misleading. The rabbit (example: Arctic hare) is a herbivore consumer of the plant.
Disadvantages of the care value base?
People might feel unwanted. They might feel frustrated They might feel like they don't matter compared to others Their self esteem might be lowThey might feel like their private has been invaded and that they have been disrespected by the nurse they have told a secret to.

No. It's too cold for manatees, and there are no calm-waters there for them.
Is a manatee a predator or prey?
Both.
A Manatee's diet consists mostly of sea plants, grasses , and algae. However, they have been know to eat small fish from fishing nets. They fall pray to sharks, crocodiles, orca whales, alligators, and humans.
Polar Bears are opportunistic feeders, and will have a go at just about any animal it thinks it can catch and overpower.
Given the chance, it is quite likely that a Polar Bear would try on a Manatee.
Polar Bears will happily go after walruses, which are fairly similar in size to manatees.
But in the wild, Polar Bears and Manatees would never meet. Manatees live in warmer waters further south, while polar bears live far to the north. There are hundreds of miles between them.
Manatees, often referred to as sea cows, are primarily herbivorous marine mammals that graze on seagrasses and aquatic plants in coastal and freshwater habitats. They play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by promoting the growth of seagrass beds, which provide habitats for various marine species. Additionally, manatees are popular in ecotourism, attracting visitors to observe them in their natural habitats, which can help raise awareness about marine conservation.
How long has the sea cow been around?
Cows in some form or another have been domesticated for the last 8,000 to 10,000 years. These early cows are known as aurochs and are an ox-like animal.
At birth, a baby manatee, also known as a calf, typically weighs between 60 to 70 pounds (27 to 32 kg) and measures about 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. They are born fully aquatic and can swim to the surface within minutes of birth to take their first breath. As they grow, they will continue to gain weight and length, reaching adult sizes of up to 1,200 pounds (540 kg) and lengths of 10 to 13 feet (3 to 4 meters).
Are there scavengers in a manatees ecosystem?
Yes, there are scavengers in a manatee's ecosystem. Animals like crabs, fish, and birds feed on the remains of dead manatees, contributing to the decomposition process and nutrient recycling in the ecosystem.
