Manatees, also known as "sea cows," are large, slow-moving marine mammals known for their gentle nature. They primarily inhabit shallow, marshy coastal areas and rivers in tropical regions. They are herbivores, feeding on a diet of aquatic plants, and are known for their docile behavior, often seen floating near the water's surface. Despite their size, they are quite agile swimmers. Manatees are also considered vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss, boat collisions, and other human-related factors
