These marine mammals primarily feed on sea grass and inhabit shallow coastal areas and rivers. Manatees are often referred to as "sea cows" due to their large size and slow movements. Despite their peaceful nature, they face threats from habitat loss, water pollution, and boat strikes. Conservation efforts are crucial for ensuring their survival, involving protection of their habitats and public education on the importance of safeguarding these gentle giants of the sea.
