🌱Manatee Feeding Facts🌱 •Some manatees consume over 60 species of plants per day! Quite the variety!🌿 •Manatees have a long gut transit time, about seven days! This allows them to absorb as much nutrition from the vegetation as possible!☘️ •When manatees are feeding their lips and jaws are moving in a constant motion. They use the bristles on their lips to further assist in bringing plants and grass to their mouth!🌿 | Bird's Underwater Dive Center
