We all enjoy head. I prefer not from lettuce, a bit cold. But we take what we can get

Manatees have sensitive whiskers called vibrissae that help them sense and explore the world around them. Manatees have the smallest brain of all mammals in relation to body mass. Manatees swim underwater for 3 mph or 5 mph and speed up to 32 km/ph when in danger. Manatees have an average lifespan of around 40-60 years. Manatees are sirenians, a group of marine mammals that includes dugongs and the extinct Steller’s sea cow. Manatees have a round tail, while dugongs have a forked tail. The word manatee is thought to come from the Carib word for “woman’s breast” or “udder” or the Latin word for “having hands”. There are three species of manatees: the West Indian manatee, the West African manatee, and the Amazonian manatee. Manatees are herbivores, which means they only feed on plants. Manatees eat 7-15% of their body weight in vegetation every day. Manatees can live in both freshwater and saltwater, but they need access to freshwater to stay hydrated. Manatees need warm water to survive, as they have low metabolic rates and minimal fat insulation. They can suffer from cold stress if the water temperature drops below 20°C (68°F). Manatee calves can stay with their mother for several years, learning how to find food, shelter, and warm water. Manatees are often called “sea cows” because of their grazing habits and cow-like appearance.

Fakest Video yet. Manati are literally allergic to lettuce (can't eat fruits) and would seizure up immediately. Clearly Photoshopped
