About Manatees. Manatees are peaceful creatures that need our protection. My Dad says watch out for their laser beam eyes but that is not true and you don't have to worry. They do not have tusks and leap from the water to grab their victems by the neck. They eat grass and live in the water.

Interesting story anyone?

Would you beleive me if I told you that manatees had large claws used for catching prey? What about if I told you that the claws are 9 inches long and look extremely disproportionate compared to the rest of their bodies?You shouldn`t beleive me and you should at the same time(atleast for part of the story).Although manatees do have nails they are not claws and are not even close to 9 inches long in fact they are very similar to elephants nails.Manatees are actually defensless and wouldn`t even attemped to protect their young in times of need.So how did you like that? Wasn`t that an interesting story?Why thank you to those of you who said it was a great story and it made you laugh.
