聚焦“海牛”(Spotlight on the 'sea cow')

今天，我们祝愿这个佛罗里达温暖水域的温和巨人度过一个安全快乐的海牛意识月。海牛是大象的近亲，而不是鲸鱼和海豚等海洋哺乳动物的近亲。海牛以海草和其他海洋植物为食，完全以食草动物为食。因此，与我们的伙伴在一起的这些鱼不必担心被吃掉。

Today we wish this gentle giant of Florida's warm waters a safe and happy Manatee Awareness Month. Closer cousins to elephants than to fellow sea mammals such as whales and dolphins, manatees follow a fully herbivorous diet of seagrasses and other marine plants – so these fish hanging out with our buddy here needn't fear being feasted upon.
