Big Nose Manatee Smiles at You

A friendly manatee stares right out from the page, nose wiggling, with a face full of tiny whiskers and gentle, shiny eyes. Wrinkles ripple down his cheeks and chubby neck like squiggly river lines, showing just how squishy and relaxed this sea buddy feels. His big round nostrils sit at the top of a soft muzzle, ready to slurp up a breath of air or maybe sniff out some tasty sea grass.

Every inch of his face is sprinkled with little skin spots and lines, making him look extra real and a little silly. His lips press together like he might tell a slow, bubble-blowing joke any second. Soft, crinkly folds fill his forehead, and his flippers peek out wide at the edges, as if he’s giving you a low-key underwater hug.

Fun Fact!

Manatees have heavy, dense bones that help them stay submerged underwater without using too much energy. This is called pachyostosis.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use blue or green for the background to make the manatee look underwater.
  2. 2 Try two shades of gray for the skin to show soft wrinkles.
  3. 3 Add light pink to the nose or cheeks for a funny twist.
  4. 4 Draw tiny green sea plants in the corners for extra detail.
