Spotlight on the 'sea cow'
Today we wish this gentle giant of Florida's warm waters a safe and happy Manatee Awareness Month. Closer cousins to elephants than to fellow sea mammals such as whales and dolphins, manatees follow a fully herbivorous diet of seagrasses and other marine plants – so these fish hanging out with our buddy here needn't fear being feasted upon.
