Endangered Manatees

By Bobbie Kalman

Book Overview

There are only three species of manatees on Earth, and all three species are at risk. These gentle marine mammals live in warm, shallow lagoons and coastal waters where fast-moving boats, water pollution, and cold weather pose a constant threat. Beautiful images of these appealing animals help readers learn about - manatee bodies and behaviors - the habitats in which manatees live around the world - how red tides further endanger manatees - what is being done to save them
