What weights about a thousand pounds and snoozes in Florida Bay? The answer is a manatee. Manatees are ocean mammals. They live in Florida's tropical waters. Mantees feed at nighttime and sleep during the day. Each night a mantee searches for food, it grazes on water plants, and it will consume the equivalent of about one-tenth of its body weight. Mantees are in danger. Humans are destroying their habitats. Motorboat propellers hit mantees restingjust below the waters surface.
