Magnificent Manatee with Swirling Patterns
High in the gentle rivers, a peaceful manatee floats slowly, her graceful body covered in swirling patterns of waves and leaves. She glides near the surface, pausing to munch on water plants and watch tiny fish weaving around her. As you color, imagine the gentle ripples and sunlight drifting through the water, making the manatee’s world shimmer with every shade you choose.
FUN FACT
A manatee needs to come to the surface to breathe air every few minutes, usually every 3 to 5 minutes when active.

COLORING TIPS
Try blending blue-greens and gentle grays for the manatee’s base, then add bursts of color in the swirling designs to make each section stand out. Use colored pencils for precise lines and gentle shading, or experiment with watercolors for dreamy blends.
