It’s a fact! Manatees do not sweat, but instead regulate their body temp by increasing or decreasing blood flow to their extremities, including their tail and flippers. The underwater environment transfers heat 25 times faster than air! savethemanatee.org/facts

Today is #WorldRiversDay! Did you know that manatees inhabit many rivers in the state of Florida as well as associated tributaries and lakes. Manatees use rivers as travel corridors, to feed and to reach warm-water sites.
