Mote Study Reveals New Info on Manatees

Manatees can feel water movements thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair — an ability that makes them one of the most touch-sensitive mammals on Earth — according to a new study led by scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory. […] The study was led by Mote scientists in Sarasota, Fla. in collaboration with the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in Gainesville, New College of Florida in Sarasota and University of South Florida College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg.
