Naptime Beneath the Gentle Waves

A sleepy manatee takes a cozy nap on the sandy river bottom. Her round face settles into her flippers, eyes closed, whiskers dotted across her nose. Pebbles and curling plants poke up from the ground on either side, while long water grasses wave over her back.

Above her, soft lines show the calm water drifting overhead. Ripples dance along the surface, making everything look peaceful and quiet. Even the rocks nearby seem to hush, careful not to wake their gentle friend while she snoozes.

Fun Fact!

Red tide, a type of harmful algal bloom, can be very dangerous for manatees, causing breathing problems if they inhale the toxins.
