The Manatee
by Ellen Baru

Manatee grazing on river bottom.
From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Digital Library System.

     The manatee is not known to have any natural enemies. It is not good at protecting itself. It is a gentle creature. One of the most interesting things about a manatee is that it has lots of special adaptations. Its bones are very strong and heavy, which help it to sink to the bottom of the river or canal, where it can graze on the grasses.
