Manatees
Florida manatees are the largest herbivorous marine mammals, growing up to 13 feet long and weighing over 1,000 pounds. They can live up to 60 years and consume up to 15% of their weight daily in vegetation. Manatees are excellent divers, social creatures found in groups called aggregations, and threatened by boat collisions. Despite this, conservation efforts have increased their population.
