Upon death, manatees can regenerate into a new manatee form.

manatees are closely related to dugongs and belong to the same order; sirenia.

whilst manatees are capable of swimming at speeds of up to 20mph, they often prefer to 'cruise' at a gentle pace of between 2-5mph.

the average lifespan of a manatee is 60 years. eb wishes not to divulge his age because 'a gentlemen never tells'

The manatee's close brother, Steller's Sea Cows; could grow to be up to 8m long! Unfortunately they are extinct.
