The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is really hard! It lives exclusively in fresh water and reaches up to 3 meters in length and 450 kilos. The species is the smallest manatee in the world. Its dark gray leather is extremely thick and resistant, and most individuals have a white or pink patch on the belly.
The Amazonian manatee can live for more than 50 years and reach sexual maturity between 5 and 10 years. His gestation lasts 12 months, with only one offspring being born, which breastfeeds for up to two years.
Every 5 minutes, the Amazonian manatee rises to the surface to breathe and can spend up to 20 minutes at the bottom of the water. Its food is based on plants.
