Manatees

By Valerie J. Weber

Look at manatees' plump bodies and whiskered snouts, and you may be surprised that sailors once mistook these creatures for mermaids! Find out how these slow swimmers find food, care for their young, and more. In Manatees, learn about threats to the animals' survival and how people are protecting these gentle giants.
