Manatees are massive aquatic animals, as they can weigh up to 3,500 pounds as an adult. Manatees live their entire life under water, and they come above the surface regularly to take a breath, as they can hold their breath for a maximum of 15 to 20 minutes. Interestingly enough, manatees are distant relatives of elephants, as they share a lot of the same DNA. These lifelike stuffed animals are perfect toddler toys, baby toys, and kids toys, so your children will have a new friend join them when they play with their toys. Whether you are searching for a gift for teens, Christmas gifts, or a birthday gift for kids, this Manatee will be the stuffed animal that will make them smile.
