- Manatees are mammals that live in the warm, clear water environment of Florida's shallow rivers. They are large, peaceful, gentle, curious creatures, and slow-moving swimmers. They spend many hours each day feeding on water plants. Manatees must surface to breathe every 15 minutes. The manatee's environment is changing because of hotels and homes being built along Florida's rivers, and the change is affecting them in a negative way. Noise and activity from people and boats scare them. Manatees can be seriously injured by powerboat propellers because the manatees cannot tell the direction from which the boats are coming. The water plants the manatees use for food are being destroyed. As a result of these and other changes in their surroundings, manatees are on the endangered species list and may one day be gone from Florida's rivers.
