It's #ManateeAppreciationDay! ✨ Did you know there are three species of manatee alive today? West Indian manatees are the biggest of them all, capable of growing over 14 feet long and achieving weights of over a ton! Manatees are social animals, and tend to gather in large groups that can number in the hundreds. When in these aggregations, manatees can often be observed bumping into and rubbing against each other, which is thought to be their way of playing around.
