Did you know manatee have marching molars? Manatee are herbivores grazing primarily on abrasive seagrass that wears down their teeth over time. The front teeth fall out and the back teeth march forward so the manatee are constantly teething. This barnacled beauty is using her toenails to rub her gums to ease the process!

#Didyouknow manatee grazing helps the ocean? When manatees eat seagrass, it encourages fresh, healthy shoots to grow, similar to how mowing a lawn promotes new growth. Younger seagrass is more nutritious and better at supporting marine life. 🎥: @blackhawktours . . . #manateeawarenessmonth #manatee #toloveandprotectbelize #belize | Oceana Belize

Give Mating Manatees Their Space! It's common to see a mating manatee herd in shallow, nearshore Florida waters during the spring and summer months. If you encounter a herd, it's important to watch from a distance as these large, strong animals are focused on mating. Bystanders that get too close could be seriously injured. In most cases the manatees are not stranded, injured or distressed, and the public should not try to approach or assist the animals in any way. If you are concerned about a m

BOOP! This sweet manatee is floating by to remind you that November is #ManateeAwarenessMonth! Did you know that these gentle giants are a key part of their ecosystems? The manatee’s nickname – the “Sea Cow” – makes so much sense, given their love for grazing on vegetation and their slow, ambling way through the water. Dive into the fascinating long-term studies we’re doing on manatees and their habitats: https://ow.ly/xhyR50UalyC Have you ever spotted one of these majestic creatures in the wild

t’s manatee season in Biscayne National Park! 🐋💙 These gentle giants, often called sea cows, can grow up to 13 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds — yet they spend most of their time slowly grazing on seagrass in our warm, shallow waters. 🌱✨ During the cooler months, manatees migrate to South Florida, and Biscayne becomes one of the best places to spot them. Seeing a manatee in its natural habitat is a reminder of how important it is to protect our waters and the wildlife that depends on th

Manatees are herbivores, and the plants they eat have low nutritional value. That’s why they need to eat a lot to fuel a big body. ❗️They can spend up to 8 hours a day grazing. They can eat around 4–10% of their body weight in aquatic plants daily. Those plants often carry sand. That grit works like sandpaper and wears their chewing teeth down fast. That’s why they evolved “marching molars” (rolling dentition): worn molars get replaced again and again. ❕Extra cool detail: manatees have no “bitin
