November marks #ManateeAwarenessMonth! West Indian Manatees (Trichechus manatus) live in shallow coastal areas where they feast on aquatic plants. Known by the nickname “sea cows”, they can graze for more than 5 hours a day. This photograph comes from ECOfronteras, Vol. 11, No. 30 (April 2007), a research magazine published by El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (@ecosurmx), a public research center attached to the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) of #Mexico. ECOSUR has contributed volumes from 2006 to 2017 of ECOfronteras to #BiodiversityHeritageLibrary as part of our ongoing mission to promote #OpenAccess!
