What is the height width and base of a manatee?
The average manatee is about 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighs about 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms). They have a rounded body with a thick, wrinkled skin that is gray or brown in color. Manatees have a wide, flat tail that they use to propel themselves through the water. Their front flippers are long and paddle-shaped, while their hind flippers are much smaller. Manatees have a long, prehensile upper lip that they use to grasp food.
