Contact Manatee Customer Service

The manatee, also known as a sea cow, is a large, slow-moving marine mammal that is found in coastal waters and rivers in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and West Africa. They are herbivorous animals, feeding on a diet of aquatic plants and algae. Manatees are known for their gentle and peaceful nature, often being referred to as "gentle giants" of the sea. They have a large, rounded body and paddle-like flippers, which they use to navigate through the water. Due to their slow movement and lack of natural predators, manatees are at risk of boat strikes and habitat loss. They are considered a vulnerable species and are protected by conservation efforts to ensure their survival in the wild.
