Manatees

they are both mammals

On the 5th day, God created the sea creatures. about 6000 years... about how long the earth has existed:)

Man. The evidence of multiple scars show the manatee's and motor driven props do not go hand in glove. They sustain numerous injury from recreational boaters that ply the waters of their habitat. The other threat is environmental,

re-routing and altering watershed basins, encroachment into prime habitat,

and accumulations of toxins in it's food chain.

It's a rough life for manatee's these days, they want nothing more than clean water & kelp to much on while basking in the Florida sun. These manatee's might be safer if they relocated to "gated" communities.

No they do not! they are mammals so they have lungs like us. they breathe through a blowhole that's on the top of their heads.

But however, one theory says that a dolphin has gills and breathes like a shark. The blowhole is just a meer battle scar from the horrific battle between the sharks and the whales. They were all left with bullet holes.

Zero, Manatee, sharks, rays and rat fish do not have bones only cartilage.

Hogwash. Manatees are mammals. They have about 200 bones.

Manatees and dugongs are sea cows. They're called cows because they're similar to cows, as they chew their food for eight hours a day.

No they do not. Manatees are mammals. Only fish have scales.

Manatees are herbivores, and plants are low calorie. They are very large animals, weighing several hundred pounds, so they need a good deal of calories to stay healthy.

There are only four (4) known species within the family of Sirenia left in the world today. They are:

-West Indian Manatee: Which populates the Carribbean coastlines, and Florida.

-West African Manatee: Found on the western coast of the continent of Africa.

-Amazonian Manatee: A strictly river-going species native to the Amazon River Basin.

-Dugong: Found in the Indo-Pacific region. There was formerly a species called the Stellar's Sea Cow which was the only cold-water species found in the Bearing Sea, and the coast of Alaska. It was hunted to extinction within 30 years of its discovery.

Manatees do not have teeth in the traditional sense. Instead, they have a series of continuously growing, flat molars that are used to grind vegetation. These molars are replaced throughout the manatee's life as they become worn down.

Manatees do not need to clean their teeth as they primarily feed on vegetation, which does not leave behind food particles that can get stuck in their teeth. However, manatees may occasionally ingest small amounts of gravel or sand along with their food, which can help to keep their molars clean and free of debris. Additionally, manatees are known to rub their faces and mouths on hard surfaces, such as rocks or dock pilings, which can also help to remove any buildup on their molars.

Yes, Because once again the carelessness of human beings
Motor boats speeding along with no care in the world will hit manatees
Causing them to be injured or to die.
We now have special places for manatees to stay,
But people still go in these places with there boats and hit manatees.

Most manatees are peaceful herbivores, grazing on seaweed on the ocean floor like a cow (which gives it the name "sea cow," for some far-fetched reason...).

It's the female who make the eggs, but she deposits them in a pouch on the male seahorse's stomach for him to carry while the egs develop. When the eggs hatch, the pouch opens, and tiny, tiny sea horses swim out.

Sharks eat manatees and SOME people kill them.

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.

Three reasons that Manatees are endangered is mainly because their habitat(Beds of sea grass, Wetlands, Mangroves) is being destroyed or drained for human population, but also because of water's becoming polluted which poisons them and the food they eat. Also because motorboats that come in Manatee habitat can injure or kill Manatee's with their propellors.

Manatees are slow moving and docile. They tend to be friendly and curious. If you are out in a small boat or canoe in an area with manatees, it is not uncommon for them to roll up beside your boat to see what you are up to while they eat.

about 134 get hit a year its sad isn't it

Manatees are aquatic mammals and give birth to a single calf, after a gestation period of approximately one year. The calf will remain dependant on it's mother for up to two years, nursing on her enriched milk.

There are loads of animals with horns: Rhinos, goats, elephants, cattle, wild boar, types of sheep. The list goes on forever. The most valuable horn though is Rhino horns. In Asia a rhino horn can sell for £40,000 a kilo.
