Manatees do not generally have a exact predeator. Mankind can be considered as one,but are usually not. Some say that manatees have bad relation with Crocodiles and Alligators, but this is not assured.

How will manatee extinction affect their predators?

To tell the truth, manatees have not very many predators. In fact, the manatee is so large, humans are the only predators. We hunt them, hurt/kill them with our motorboats, and we scar/strangle them with our fishing boats. Also, our floodgates and pollution play a (not so) helping hand. Manatees' extinction will affect us because everyone loves a good trip to SeaWorld, or whatever zoo or aquarium you may visit, to see the manatees. Those blubbery, though loving, creatures will always (hopefully) keep a place in the human heart.


How are manatees adapted for life at sea?

They have flippers to steer themselves and huge flat, spoon shaped tail fins to propel themselves. Their snouts are prehensile, like an elephant's trunk, allowing them to get at plants that grow at the bottom of the sea. Manatees are large enough that predators like sharks and alligators don't bother them. Manatees are also able to live in both fresh and salt water.
