@ecobeachbabe : “Ever wonder what manatees do all day? Eat. A lot. 🥬
These gentle giants are herbivores and spend 6-8 hours a day munching on seagrass, algae, and freshwater plants. In fact, a manatee can eat 10-15% of its body weight every single day, that’s up to 100 pounds of vegetation!
They don’t eat fish or other animals, just underwater
“salads” that help keep Florida’s rivers and springs healthy. Slow swimmers with serious appetites, manatees are basically underwater lawnmowers, cruising, floating, and grazing about their day!”
