Manatee Appreciation Day falls on the last Wednesday in March. It’s a chance to get to know an animal often spotted as a round nose breaking the surface for a breath.
Manatees spend much of their time grazing on aquatic plants. As their back teeth wear down, replacements gradually move forward, like groceries on a checkout belt. If you’re watching a manatee from shore, see if you can spot the broad, rounded tail that gives it an occasional push.
