Dr. Doolittle’s clinic manager at the marine animal veterinary clinic in the Florida Keys needs your help! A reporter has contacted the clinic and will be filming a national news story featuring manatees and their warm water habits to avoid cold stress and survive during our cold Florida winters. The clinic manager needs you to create 5 PowerPoint Slides on Florida Manatees that the reporter can use for the story. The slides must include basic facts about manatee physiology; what organ they use to navigate in murky water; where Florida Manatees swim in the winter and why it helps their survival; and how Florida Manatee health is assessed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
