Mosiyana ndi ma dolphin ndi nyama zina za m’madzi, nyama za m’madzi zilibe madzi oundana enieni oti amaziteteza kumadzi otsika kuposa madigiri seshasi 68, choncho zimafunika kupeza madzi ofunda pa kusamuka kwawo kuti zipulumuke m’nyengo yozizira.”

Ambiri aife sitikhudzidwa ndi zoletsa zapanyanja za Florida zomwe zikuyamba kugwira ntchito pa Novembara 15, zoletsa zomwe zidapangidwa kuti ziteteze manatees. Komabe, manatee ndi chizindikiro cha zonse zomwe timakumana nazo popititsa patsogolo ubale wa anthu ndi nyanja, ndipo zomwe zimapangitsa kuti nyamazi zikhale zathanzi zimapanga nyanja zathanzi.  

Manatees amadya udzu, kutanthauza kuti amadalira udzu wathanzi komanso zomera zina zam'madzi kuti azidya. Udzu wotukuka wa m'nyanja umafunika matope ochepa, madzi oyera oyera, komanso kusokoneza zochita za anthu. Zipsera za ma propeller omwe amaziyika mwangozi ziyenera kukonzedwa mwachangu kuti zisakokoloke ndi kuwononganso madera omwe amakhala ndi nsomba zam'madzi, nsomba zazing'ono, ndi zamoyo zina zambiri kwa gawo limodzi la moyo wawo.
