Q11 Even if you’re not in Florida, you can watch manatees live on our webcams at https://t.co/ynAN3JlvBB in collaboration with @explore.org and the @FLStateParks, especially during the winter time! Have you seen anything fun on our webcams? #manateechat
Q10 Manatees are protected under state law by the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978. They are also protected by two federal laws- do you know which ones? (Hint: one Act was passed in 1972 and the other in 1973.) #manateechat
Q9 Manatees have no significant natural predators – in fact we have documented them in close vicinity of alligators: https://t.co/r92xxMRNeM Why do you think they don’t bother each other? #manateechat
Q8 Manatees may rest submerged on the bottom or just below the surface. They come up to breathe every three to five minutes on average, but can hold their breath for how long? #manateechat
Q7 Many manatees need to be rescued each year and after rehabilitation are released back out into the wild. Do you know where manatees are taken for rehabilitation? #manateechat
Q6 Save the Manatee Club was co-founded by the late singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett in 1981 and Jimmy Buffett has stayed involved throughout the years. #manateechat
What is your favorite Jimmy Buffett song?
Q5 Another great way to support manatee conservation efforts is to adopt a real, living manatee from Save the Manatee Club at https://t.co/vvx7KQA8Ir. Has anyone adopted one? #manateechat
Q4 Manatees have "marching molars" that move from the back to front of their jaw as they wear down and eventually fall out. New teeth are always forming. Do you know what manatees eat? #manateechat
Q3: In November we celebrate #ManateeAwarenessMonth. This is the time when #manatees migrate back to their warm water winter homes, because they can’t tolerate cold water. During the summer months, manatees can be seen in which other US states? #manateechat
Q2 Manatees have inhabited waterways for 15 million years and while having no significant natural predators – collisions w/watercraft, entanglement in debris, loss of habitat and algae blooms pose threats. What can individuals do to help protect the Manatee? #manateechat

So beautiful❤️Wish there was a manatee emoji! #manateechat
Weighing about 70 pounds at birth, a manatee can grow over 1,200 pounds but only has a one-inch fat layer and cannot tolerate water colder than 68 degrees Fahrenheit. These slow-moving marine mammals continue to be protected under many state and federal laws. #manateechat
Q1 Manatees can be found at many places in Fl, such as Crystal River, Homosassa, Blue Spring State Park, TECO Manatee Viewing Center Apollo Beach, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Manatee Lagoon in Riviera Beach, and others. Have you ever seen a manatee? #manateechat
