Gentle Giant of the Water

This friendly manatee floats through the water with a soft, round belly and a sweet smile. His front flippers stick out like he's ready for a slow, gentle wave hello. Wrinkles ripple across his thick body, each one curving from his wide nose to his smooth, paddle-shaped tail.

Soft whiskers dot his chin, and his big, patient eyes peek forward as if he is looking for more sea grass to nibble. He moves slowly, arms tucked close, in a relaxed pose that shows just how calm and peaceful these sea mammals can be. Every line invites a splash of color to bring this underwater friend to life.

Fun Fact!

A manatee has a special clear eyelid, called a nictitating membrane, that can slide over its eye for protection underwater, like built-in goggles.
