SCHLEICH 14839 Manatee Figure The Manatee from Schleich WILDLIFE is a herbivorous marine mammal with an enormous cylindrical body. The Manatee from Schleich WILDLIFE is a mammal that lives in tropical waters and feeds on seagrass, algae and other aquatic plants. Its closest relative is an elephant. Its front legs have evolved into fins over millions of years, while its hind legs have completely disappeared. The manatee’s tail is shaped like a paddle, whereas a dugong, which looks very similar, has a tail fluke that looks like a dolphin.
