                                                          My favorite animal

Well to be honest, I think there are many beautiful animals.

But since this time I have to choose I would say that it is the manatee.

Every time that I have said this to my friends they have said; really? manatee? how come?

They are sooooo ugly! and then I said; no, they are not, in my opinion they are really cute.

When I was about 9 years old my father bought a computer. This came with some games included.

I remember that one of the games was about the sea. And there was like a “host”, he used to talk about the different animals that we could find there, what they eat, how long they live and some other specific information. Then there were some games where you have to use the information given. So the host was a manatee! He was so cute, he even sang a song. It was the beach boys song, surfin USA. 

Now some specific information about this animal. They are also called sea cows.  “Manatees have a mass of 400 to 550 kilograms and mean length of 2.8 to 3.0 metres, with max of 3.6 metres and 1,775 kilograms seen. Also females tend to be larger and heavier"

Manatees are herbivores. The places where they can be found are the following:

“Marshy coastal areas and rivers of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (T. West Indian manatee), the Amazon Basin (T. inunguis, Amazonian manatee), and West Africa (T. senegalensis, West African manatee)”
