Manatee
With their gentle demeanor, big brown eyes, and curious whiskery faces, manatees have long intrigued humankind. Today, as a battle is waged to save them from extinction, they are attracting a large and devoted following. One of nature's strangest and most lovable creatures, manatees have wide, sausage-like bodies that end in a broad, powerful tail, making them look like a whimsical cross between a walrus and a tremendous beaver. Manatee presents the best collection of photographs yet taken of these elusive and endearing sea mammals, capturing their adorable expressions and peaceful vegetarian ways. Taken on Florida's Crystal River, the photographs in Manatee present a rare and affectionate portrait of a reclusive species, the animals thought to be the basis of the mermaid legend. Including a thorough text filled with science and lore, Manatee reveals the many charms of the great sea cow.

MANATEE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
MANATEE Photographs by Rei Ohare text by Akemi Hotta I just read the book called MANATEE. I thought this book was very good because it has tons of information all about manatees. The book has great photographs, I think the photographs are the best part of the book but MANATEES still has lots of reading information. I think the book is great for learning. The book goes from history to what they look like. The book has all sorts of information. I liked this book and I think people ages 9 and up would like it too. I really do recommend the book MANATEES. MANATEE Photographs by Rei Ohare text by Akemi Hotta I just read the book called MANATEE.

This book contained some of the best manatee photographs that I have ever seen. The text was general, and there wasn't much of it, but it is the perfect size for someone just learning about manatees. *Pictures, pictures, pictures!!*
A must have for manatee lovers!

The photos in this book were some of the best I've seen. The text was simple yet very informative. Every manatee fan should have this one in their library.
Wonderful as a visual aid!

Rei Ohara has taken some of the finest photos of these gentle underwater giants that I have ever seen! This book is especially valueable as a visual aid for research projects. I highly recommend it to anyone who apprecitates these endangered creatures.
