Gentle Manatee Smiles By the Water

A plump manatee paddles close, showing his whiskery nose and small, friendly eyes. His wide flippers reach out as if he's ready for a big slow-motion hug. Chubby cheeks puff at the edges of his grin, and you can spot tiny dots of whiskers around his soft snout. The big fellow floats just beneath the surface—every line on his face hints at his calm and easygoing spirit.

This manatee looks right at you, as if he’s curious about what colors you’ll choose for him. His head and arms fill the page, inviting you to cover him in watery blues, seaweed greens, or any shade you like. Lines curl gently around his body, making it fun to fill in every fold and dimple. Each flipper and little nose hair gives you a new spot to try out a different color or pattern.

Fun Fact!

Conservation efforts include creating "manatee zones" with slow speed limits for boats in areas where manatees live.
