Mojo Sealife Manatee 387211

Manatees are usually seen alone, in pairs, or in small groups of half a dozen or fewer animals. From above the water surface, the animal's nose and nostrils are often the only thing visible. Manatees never leave the water but, like all marine mammals, must breathe air at the surface. A resting manatee can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes, but while swimming it must surface every three or four minutes.

This playing figure of a manatee (subspecies of manatees) is 14.5 x 5.8 x 4.2 centimeters.
