Despite their appearance, manatees lack the necessary fat to survive in colder waters, making them restricted to temperate areas. They are fully aquatic marine mammals with unique front flippers and a paddle-like tail, and their closest terrestrial relative is the elephant. Unfortunately, manatees face numerous threats to their survival, including habitat loss, pollution, and injuries caused by human activities.\n
