AND sea ​​cow gave birth to twins in the waters of a Florida natural park, an “extremely rare” event among these marine mammals, according to the Manatee Rescue Club and local media this Thursday.

The birth took place in the Blue Spring natural park, in the center Florida (USA) and “both puppies seem to be fine,” the animal welfare organization said in a post on their social media, where they also announced the upcoming baby shower celebration and uploaded photos of the puppies. manatees along with his mother.

The Manatee Rescue Club has launched a fundraising campaign for these native and iconic Florida animals whose habitat scientists say is being degraded by human activities.

Eight hundred manatees died in the southern state in 2022, according to state officials, lower than the previous year’s record 1,100 deaths, but still higher than the average for the past five years, according to state officials.

Since 2017, an average of 741 manatees have been killed annually since 2017, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC).

According to the FWC, 45 manatees died this year between January 1 and 13.

Threatened population

Due to the scarcity of the sea grass it feeds on, there have been starvation deaths and cases manatees chronically malnourished, forcing the authorities to introduce a complementary food program in the winter months from 2022, mainly based on lettuce.

It is during these months that what the FWC calls an “unusual fatal event” occurs, in response to which Florida maintains a warm waters response center at Cape Canaveral, on the state’s east coast, where rescued manatees are cared for.

State officials were “cautiously optimistic” on Wednesday as death rates for December were lower than in previous years, as were those who died of starvation.

This native species is no longer officially endangered and is protected in 2017 as its population has increased in recent years to over 7,500 individuals thanks to manatee protection zones and slow boat speed zones and awareness campaigns. .

The current situation has prompted conservationists to call for them to be returned to the list of endangered species. (EFE)
