PLANET OCEAN: Florida Manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) swim near a school of mangrove snapper fish in the Weeki Wachee River in northwest Florida. Manatees require warm water and cannot survive in temperaures colder than 68-degrees, so they come into rivers such as this in the winter, when ocean watrs turn colder. Manatees are listed as an endangered species by both the state of Florida and the IUCN.
