Wir haben leider gestern erst sehr spät gemerkt, dass "Manatee Appreciation Day" war. Zu der Zeit war unsere Freundin Mañana, die Seekuh, schon sehr müde. Deswegen feiern wir heute nach. Es gibt heiße Schokolade mit Glitzer und #kekf
Als Abendprogramm hat sich Mañana den Film "Der Teufel trägt Prada" gewünscht, nachdem das heute die Lösung im Radioquiz und sie entsetzt war, dass ihn keiner von uns Walis kennt.
Sie sagt, das sei eine Bildungslücke.

Aww, yesterday was #ManateeAppreciationDay? Well, around here that’s everyday.

To celebrate, please enjoy these perfect floatato hanging with some turts at a local fish museum.

Few creatures better embody the notion of peaceful coexistence than the manatee. Slow-moving and largely indifferent to human affairs, these aquatic herbivores graze on seagrasses and algae in the shallow coastal waters of the Americas and West Africa. Yet despite their unassuming nature, manatees are increasingly at the mercy of human activity.

The last Wednesday in March is #ManateeAppreciationDay!

There are only four remaining species in the Sirenia order, and all are endangered. Their long reproductive cycles and loss of habitat have pushed them to the brink of extinction, but efforts are being made to bolster their numbers.

I finally finished it! New art alert!! 🎨🖌️

I'm calling this repeating pattern Manatee Fantasy, and it's available for purchase as lots of cool apparel and household items on RedBubble https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/159855861?ref=studio-promote and for the DIY crowd it's available as fabric and wallpaper on Spoonflower https://www.spoonflower.com/designs/16825599-manatee-fantasy-by-crystalleigh

I had a lot of fun making this and learned a lot of new things. This was of course inspired by my visits to Florida and the Manatee Viewing Center run by Tampa electric. 🐟 Protect our waters and the amazing wildlife that calls them home. 🌊

RT by @EU_ENV: Happy #ManateeAppreciationDay!

These slow-moving marine mammals, also known as sea cows, can be found in coastal environments.

They are under threat from habitat destruction and climate change, so we want to raise awareness about the importance of 🌍 manatee conservation.
