Description
There are only three species of manatees on Earth, and all three species are at risk. Fast-moving boats, water pollution, and cold weather pose a constant threat to these gentle marine mammals. Beautiful images of these appealing animals help young readers learn about manatee bodies and behaviors, their habitats around the world, and what's being done to save them.
