Secrets of the Manatee offers a fascinating look at Florida\'s Most mysterious Marine creature.
This book explores the evolutionary history and fascinating biology of the manatee, asking questions such as, why do they have solid bones and marching molars? Big tummies but no blubber? Lots of friends and no enemies? And other queries like, are manatees invasive? Do they speak or squeak? Why do they have whiskers? Are they dangerous? How can we help them thrive again? This book answers these--and many more--questions about this very special mammal..
This book is written for people who care about manatees, who want to learn about them, and, ultimately, who want to save them.
Now, their very survival depends on a delicate balance between human interference and conservation.
Floating just below the surface of the water, manatees have remained largely unknown and misunderstood by humans.
