Exploring the manatee

Hello and welcome back. If you don’t know I am Angelica the explorer. I explore the world. Yesterday we swam with the green sea turtles. Today we are not swimming, but we are going to see an amazing and interesting creature. The manatee. Now a manatee is a blue planet animal just like the green sea turtle. So without further ado let's go!

Now I am here to where most manatees can be found. A manatee is an interesting creature because it’s relatives are an elephant and a hyrax. It's just crazy. A manatee is a herbivore. If you don’t know what that is I will tell you. A herbivore is an animal that loves to eat things like sea grass and plants. One of it’s favourite foods is algae. One example of a herbivore is a giraffe.Anyway back to the manatee.

A manatee’s environment is a shallow place. It loves to swim in shallow water. You could find it in rivers,lakes and even oceans and seas. The reason why it loves to swim around there is because of the sea grass. I think another reason why is because it is easy to come up and take a breath of water.  Actually it is like they drift with the water. So it doesn’t really use it’s flippers. Another thing about the manatee is that the skin kind of hangs which cause's the manatee to not really chew probably.


Well I am sad to say that, that is our time for today. Did you have fun learning something new? What animal do you think I will explore tomorrow? Anyway this has been fun but it is time to go. Explorer Angelica signing off!
