The Fascinating World of the Manatee

  • Summary

Join natural world photographer and journalist Roger W. Downes as he discovers everything manatee with Save The Manatee Club Manatee Biologist Tiare Fridrich.

    You'll be surprised which land mammal manatees are closest related to, plus the amazing places you'll discover them outside of Florida. Listen now for the answers and many more.
