 Hi i'm here to tell you about a western  indian manatee habitat and 
facts about them along with what they look like. Western Indian manatees
have a flat tail and a very big body and a small head in my opinion there are
very beautiful creatures that roam in the water. 

There habatt Western Indian manatees live in watery areas where they don't
get disubs. In the video I watched them swimming in a sandy area with plenty
of water, rocks along with algae and some seaweed. In the video i watched
about their habitat the man who was telling us information about their habitat
said that It's called 3 sister springs in florida.West Indian manatees prefer
shallow, slow-moving waters of rivers, estuaries, saltwater bays, canals, and
coastal areas. They can move easily between freshwater and saltwater
environments, but prefer freshwater. The West Indian manatee has no natural
predators.
