The Manatee:

Like whales and dolphins, mammals found in this group are adapted to an aquatic life. The members have developed over the fins. The lower a rounded tail and flat, with a large paddle-shaped. These animals perform all their activities in the water, just stick their head for air and her breathing still remains similar to ours.The manatee is from Puerto Rico.

This big guy is a endangered species because of :

Illegal hunting.
The water pollution.
The destruction of their habitat by dredging and speedboats engines. Is a legally protected species in the country.
Manatees possess no natural enemy. Yet there are a number of factors that threaten this species. Some of the factors that have been documented in Puerto Rico are:
-Hunting for meat consumption.

-Impacts of motor boats and watercraft ("jet skis") conducted at high speed.

-Water pollution.

-Discarded fishing nets in the water that cause death by drowning.

Loss of habitat to build on the coast without proper planning.
