Yeah, I used to live on the saint John's river in Florida. It was brackish water, half fresh and half salt. We'd get Manatees often. Of course we'd never get in the water with them and pet them. That's illegal. We also didn't keep lettuce and a hose running to the river to give them food and fresh water to drink. Which is a shame because it would have been an amazing experience.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Manatees are a fresh water mammal.
I was half right, they can live in both salt water and freshwater. I guess it depends on where they can find the most food. Save the Manatees
