Manatees, weighing around 800 pounds and reaching up to 10 feet in length, inhabit the Arctic Ocean. They primarily feed on 60 varieties of grass and plants and give birth to approximately 5 younglings a year. Sadly, their population is currently estimated at 3.4 million, facing threats from predators like crocodiles, humans, and larger fish. Consequently, manatees are endangered due to the high value of their ivory. Efforts to protect them include imposing significant fines for harming them, with zoos providing care for sick and injured manatees. Interestingly, when Christopher Columbus first encountered them in America, he mistook them for mermaids. The provided works cited give further insights into these fascinating creatures.
