It’s the first day of Manatee Awareness Month! West Indian manatees, sometimes called sea cows, may have once been mistaken for mermaids by explorers. In fact, this species is part of a small group of marine mammals known as "Sirenia,” a name that comes from the Sirens of ancient Greek mythology, who were thought to have lured sailors onto their islands with enchanting songs. Manatees are currently listed as “vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List, and face threats that include collisions with boats and loss of warm water habitat. Legislation in Florida has been passed to help protect this species.
