Manatee farm

Freddie, Omar and I went to the Manatee farm today. Manatees are sea cows. The farm took in injured manatees that had been cut by machetes or injured by boats. The people at the farm then helped them recover and feed them. They also breed, so the farm had baby manatees. Then when they are older they will be released back into the river. When they are young they are fed extremely expensive milk and when they are adults they have green leaves. When they are young they shed their skin. We fed the manatees. This project is brilliant as it saves manatees and prevents them from being killed or dying in rivers as they are properly looked after. However, when they are eventually released they won’t be scared of humans as they have such close interactions with us. This means that they may be easily hunted.
