Were Manatees always Manatees?
Long ago, manatees were land animals. It is believed that manatees and dugongs evolved from four-footed land mammals over 60 million years ago, and some scientists believe Manatees evolved from a wading, plant-eating animal. Believe it or not, but the manatee's closest living relatives are actually three land animals which include the elephant,the hyrax (a small, gopher-sized mammal), and the aardvark. So like all mammals, the manatee evolved on land.

In that manatees inhabit fresh as well as salt water their predators include sharks, crocodiles, orcas, and alligators.
actually manatees have no natural predators because of there habitat
sharks whales orcas alligators crocodiles and humans
this again isn't the correct answer...the biggest threat to manatees are humans. They don't have an exact predator, it is possible that they can get hurt by these other animals, but not likely. Plus manatees can live in salt water or fresh water. And I doubt you're going to find an orca whale in fresh water. *manatees are an endangered species. HELP TO SAVE THE MANTEES!!
