Manatees have prehensile lips—basically, built-in salad tongs. 🥬🐄 These thick, muscular lips move independently on each side, helping them grab, pull, and munch on seagrass, hydrilla, and water hyacinth.

Sea cows with a smile upgrade! Manatees don’t have front teeth at all – every tooth in their mouth is a grinding molar, and they replace them for life like a slow-moving conveyor belt of chompers! #ManateeMonday #ManateeFacts | The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature
