Swirly Manatee Smiles by the Shore

A manatee peeks out, her whiskery nose and round cheeks pressed forward with the gentlest grin. Her big, curious eyes look right at you, almost as if she is ready to float by and say hello. Spirals and leafy lines twirl across her soft body, turning every inch into a busy underwater maze. Her fin rests close to her side, and you can almost imagine her flipper waving hello.

All across her back and belly, swirling patterns and leafy shapes curl this way and that, giving her a magical look. Even her snout is covered in tiny dots and perfect rings, showing every bump and dimple. This peaceful manatee isn't in a rush; she takes up the whole page, waiting for splashes of color to make her shine. Each twist and turn in her skin makes you want to dive right into the drawing.

Fun Fact!

Manatees have very few natural predators because they are so large; sometimes sharks or crocodiles might attack a young or sick manatee.
