Reblog if manatees are your favorite animal!
Manatees like those in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary can munch as much as 150 pounds of seagrass per day. These gentle, slow-moving animals are at risk from boat strikes, but conservation efforts are helping them! When you’re boating in manatee habitat, always make sure to slow down and keep an eye out.
