Gentle Manatee Floats By for a Peek

A plump manatee glides across the page, flippers tucked in close and round belly swaying side to side. His whiskery snout points toward you, with big curious eyes and wrinkled skin that looks extra squishy. He seems to pause in his swim, as if he wants to listen to a good joke or join in on a silly story.

Fine lines show every fold and crinkle in his cozy skin, from his cheeks all the way down to his wiggly tail. His flippers curve forward, looking ready to wave hello. With tiny dots and soft lines for whiskers, this friendly sea mammal brings a bit of the warm river right to your fingertips.

Fun Fact!

Most manatees (West Indian and West African) have three or four little fingernails on each flipper, but Amazonian manatees do not have any nails.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Use gray or light brown for the manatee's skin and add blue swirls for underwater light.
  2. 2 Try soft green or bluish tints on the belly to make him look like he's swimming in a river.
  3. 3 Dot tiny specks or freckles around the snout with brown or tan to highlight his whiskers.
  4. 4 Blend two colors on the wrinkles for a soft, real-life effect.
