"...If the God Squad can declare an “emergency” to harm beloved sea turtles and manatees in the Gulf, then wildlife across the nation are also at risk."

For Manatee Appreciation Day, take action! Manatees and other species rely on the Endangered Species Act. H.R. 1897 could weaken it.

Manatee mom & her brand new baby. The best thing about this video aside from the baby Manatee, is the mother has no visible scars. The manatee calf still had its fetal folds/wrinkles and was probably only a day or two old.

Mini: Magestic Manatees Manatees are remarkable and gentle creatures. Possibly the source of mermaid stories of old, these strange aquatic mammals live life on the slow side. Some researchers have learned a lot about their behavior and cognition in recent experiments, so we are going to break down what we understand about manatee behavior and the conundrum of their complex cognitive and social repertoires with their proportionally small brains.

Still upset about Trump, but Happy Manatee Appreciation Day! 🐳

Manatees are one of our most important species!

They promote the health of seagrass beds through grazing, and seagrass beds trap huge amounts of carbon.

Also, they're cute! 🥺

Florida’s Manatees Are Relative Newcomers, According to Historical Research These beloved sea cows were barely recorded in the area before the seas warmed in the late 1700s. Now their habitats are at risk.

"Manatees, long considered among Florida's most beloved and enchanting inhabitants, are not native at all, and only came for warm temperatures and clear blue waters like any other visitor, researchers have found."

It's #ManateeAppreciationDay and we're here to tell you something really cool about manatees. Did you know manatees have nails on their flippers? This vestige from their land-based ancestors is one way we can see similarities to their elephant and hyrax cousins!

The last Wednesday in March is #ManateeAppreciationDay

Manatees are more closely related to elephants than walruses and seals, and they are cathemeral meaning they are active both day and night.

Hello. #Manatees

Planting trees in the sea could act as a huge carbon sink and save millions of dollars in storm damage every year. What is stopping us from doing it? A new study reveals restoring mangroves could save $800 million in storm damage, protect 140,000 people from flooding, and remove almost triple the amount of CO2 produced by cars in the U.S. every yea...

Fossilized whale skulls reveal feeding secrets of sharks 5 million years ago A new study analyzing two fossilized whale skulls from around 5 million years ago has revealed fragments of sharks' teeth lodged inside them. This provides rare evidence of how sharks fed on whales in north European waters in prehistoric times.

The TRUTH about Crystal River, Florida and Three Sisters Springs. There's so much misinformation about Crystal River and manatees in general. Hopefully this clears some of it up.

This is super cool. I’ve been watching some of the diver/cinematographer’s videos, and so The Algorithm sent me this one. The swim I had in some other, adjacent universe, in my teens. (Don’t sleep on the comments!) #manatees
