The Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), also called the "sea cow," is an unusual looking marine mammal, with their whiskered face, round body and paddle-like tail. Manatees have been the subject of intense awareness and conservation efforts in recent years due to threats from human activities.
Here you can view photos of manatees and their behavior, and perhaps see why they are so beloved by so many people.
