Caribbean Manatee Swimming Above a Seagrass Bed
A solitary manatee drifts through shallow coastal waters, hovering just above the ocean floor covered in green marine plants. Warm, shallow bays and coastal river estuaries offer hospitable conditions for these slow-moving aquatic herbivores.
Facts About Manatees and Coastal Ecosystems
Often called sea cows, manatees consume large quantities of aquatic plants every day to maintain their weight. Because they breathe air, they must surface every few minutes while swimming, though they can stay submerged longer when resting on the seafloor.
Real Colors of the Caribbean Manatee
- Manatee skin: wrinkled slate gray to grayish-brown
- Eyes: small and dark gray
- Seagrass leaves: bright green to olive green
- Seabed floor: pale tan sand or light beige silt
