smanatee

In a few years, scientists predict that a severe drought will affect many ecosystems, including coastal areas where manatees live. As water levels drop, these gentle creatures may struggle to find sufficient space to survive. However, manatees might adapt in an interesting way, drawing inspiration from snakes. Snakes have specialized scales on their bellies that help them move smoothly across various surfaces. In a similar fashion, manatees could develop unique adaptations, such as more efficient movement across shallow waters or even on land, helping them survive the changing environment until they can find enough water again.
