Description

The first animals for my :iconzooartrpg:.

This lovely trio is apart of our Amazon Basin exhibit. They're Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis). Not show are a pair of tambaqui, a banjo catfish, and the schools of Mesonauta festivus and cockatoo cichlids that the manatees also share their tank with.

Refs for their belly markings: [link]

From top to bottom:

Name: Remedios
Tag: GZMA0A01
Species: Amazonian manatee
Gender: Female
Age: 9
Lineage: Unknown
Region: Brazil
Remedios is the oldest of our manatees and the de facto leader of the trio. Amazingly calm and gentle, she seems to take great interest in human childern.

Name: Rosario
Tag: GZMA0B01
Species: Amazonian manatee
Gender: Female
Age: 6
Lineage: Unknown
Region: Brazil
Rosario is the youngest of our manatees and still very calf-like in her behavior. She enjoys swimming after the fish in the exhibit.

Name: Benigno
Tag: GZMAA001
Species: Amazonian manatee
Gender: Male
Age: 7
Lineage: Unknown
Region: Brazil
Benigno is the lone male of the group. He's quite lazy and enjoys rolling on the ground on his back.

They're so cute. I love manatees and Duogongs since they are such comely creatures, simple and pleasant. It's a shame that they're endangered...You know, my first research item was actually on the Amazonian Manatee, I drew a cute (at the time) little baby one.
