Manatees typically inhabit warm, shallow coastal waters, estuaries, and rivers in tropical and subtropical regions. They can be found in areas such as the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and along the coast of West Africa. Manatees require access to both fresh and saltwater to survive.
Manatees have been known to humans for thousands of years, with early sightings dating back to ancient civilizations. However, the scientific discovery and classification of manatees occurred in the 18th century, with the species being formally described in the mid-1700s.
