Manatee

The manatee is an aquatic mammal, that lives mainly on rivers.
Like all mammals it needs to breath air, it can go underwater for up to 20 minutes, but usually goes above water to breath every 1 to 4 minutes.
Manatees are also know for the name "Sea cows"
They are very peacefully creatures, and are herbivorous.
The manatee doesn't have predators, still is an endangered species.
The cause is humans, one reason is the pollution on rivers, but the main problem is boats, manatees result injured or death either by being cut by propellers or by being hit
