yes. manatees might have once walked the earth, and lived on land
Long ago, manatees were land animals. It is believed that manatees and dugongs evolved from four-footed land mammals over 60 million years ago, and some scientists believe Manatees evolved from a wading, plant-eating animal. Believe it or not, but the manatee's closest living relatives are actually three land animals which include the elephant,the hyrax (a small, gopher-sized mammal), and the aardvark. So like all mammals, the manatee evolved on land.
They have lost it because of on-land development
Yes, EMF's hurt manatees by disrupting nesting. The male manatees will not return to the nest and will go to the sand bar instead.
Manatees are not land-dwelling, they are water-dwelling mammals therefore their lungs are bigger so they can stay underwater longer.
MANATEES WERE NEVER EVER LAND ANIMALS. If you're an evolutionist, then you'll believe in all that junk.
You are mistaken there; cetaceans are dolphins and whales, not manatees; manatees are known as sirenians. They have useless hips and hind legs because they are so well adapted to a marine lifestyle and they no longer walk on land.
Yes, the noise from HDD can cause male manatees to leave the nest and go to the sand bar.
No because according to scientists, manatees were unable to walk on land...ever becasue of their bone strcuture for the tail flap was entirely differnet and its ancestors would only have a different tail shape not a different bone.
Manatees are consumers.
more predisposed to traveling underwater than other land animals.
Manatees are made from God
