The Manatee is an endangered aquatic mammal sometimes called a 'sea cow'.
Manatees spend most of their time in warm, shallow water grazing on aquatic
vegetation.
In the US, they are primarily found in the warm waters of Florida, but they
have been occasionally found as far north as New York and one was even 700
miles up the Mississippi river in Tennessee. Unfortunately the
Tennessee manatee later died.
