Schleich Wild Life Sea cow 14839

The manatee from the schleich® WILD LIFE theme world is a mammal that lives in tropical waters and eats sea grass, algae and other aquatic plants. The manatee is not a close relative of the cow, but of the elephant. The front legs have developed into fins over millions of years. The hind legs have completely disappeared. In the case of manatees, the tail has become a shovel-shaped paddle. The tail of the dugong has developed into a fork-shaped paddle.
