MANATEES, THE SLOWEST MAMMAL ON MOSQUITO LAKE
Manatees are huge, gray mammals with tails that are formed like flat paddles. Most Manatees weigh over 1000 pounds, can grow up to fourteen feet and live to be about 60 years old.
West Indian Manatees are the slowest mammals of Mosquito Lagoon and are one of the world's most endangered animals so it is awesome to see one.
Manatees are mild creatures and spend most of their days eating and traveling. They eat between twenty and sixty pounds of plants and sea grass each day. Manatees don't have teeth, but they do have front molars. They have shockingly good vision.
They can be discovered in shallow, slow-moving brooks, saltwater bays, canals, and coastal areas, particularly where you would find sea grass beds or freshwater vegetation. Manatees might also be found in the coastal and inland waterways of Central America and along the northwards coast of South America.
West Indian Manatees originated in the Caribbean. Florida is thought to be their northernmost territory. Manatees also spend their winters in natural springs, like Blue Springs near Deland, Florida, and they make their paths to the coastal waterways, including Mosquito Lagoon, for spring, summer and fall.
Manatees will have to come up for a breath about every four minutes. When Manatees come up for air, it may appear like a snort. They often spend some time resting submerged at the bottom or merely below the surface of the water. When they are using a great amount of energy, they may surface to breathe as frequently as each half a minute, but when resting, Manatees have been known to remain submerged for at least 20 mins. Manatees customarily swim about three to 5 miles per hour, but they can swim up to 20 miles per hour in short bursts.
Manatees give birth about each three years with gestation periods averaging a year. The calves nurse and are dependent on their mummies for roughly 2 and a half years. Twins are terribly rare.
The Manatee's nearest relative is the elephant.
As with wild animal populations, a certain proportion of manatee deaths are credited to natural causes such as cold stress, gut illness, pneumonia, and other sicknesses. Extra fatal injuries are from human-related causes with include collisions with watercraft ; being crushed and drowned in canal locks and flood control structures ; ingestion of fish hooks, litter, and monofilament line ; and entanglement in crab trap lines. Finally, loss of habitat and rapidly declining water quality thanks to the spraying of fertilizer and pesticides are the most major threats facing the Manatees today.
