Manatee communication includes a range of vocalizations such as chirps, whistles, squeaks, and grunts. While not loud, these vocalizations play important roles for breeding, alerting others of danger, and keeping track of one another. It is also believed that manatees can identify and distinguish one another based on their chirps and bark. The manatee team at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium can hear several different clicks and whistles underwater when they scuba dive to maintain the manatees’ hab

Welcome to Manatee Coast! My name is Dan, and I’m a zookeeper in the Shores region of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. While we stay busy caring for over 200 amazing animals, for this Takeover Tuesday, I will be highlighting five very important residents in particular—the manatees! For my intro video, though, I’m also including another inhabitant of Manatee Coast—our brown pelican, Sir Ken. He’s full of personality, so he needed to make a special cameo. Follow me throughout the day, and I’ll show

Enrichment is a very important part of keeping the animals healthy! We change the enrichment on a regular basis so it is exciting every time they see and experience it. Because manatees forage for vegetation, we usually provide their lettuce in PVC holders that secure the lettuce at the floor of their habitat. In this video, though, you can also see that we added a back scratcher with hard and soft brushes. The manatees love to gently rub against these brushes for a nice scratch! One of their fa

Happy Manatee Appreciation Day from Stubby, Scampi and Squirrel! Did you know that manatees are born underwater, and their mothers often bring their calves to the surface for their first breath? In their native range, female manatees will often let another calf nurse, and may even adopt another calf as her own, so they are really good moms! At the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, manatees, Scampi and Squirrel, are doing well and putting on about 20 to 30 pounds per month. If you're wondering what mana

It's a sea cow takeover, as we take a look back at female manatee calves, Scampi and Squirrel's journey to Manatee Coast at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium through the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP). Here, they will receive care so that they can continue to grow and gain enough weight to survive on their own. At 133 pounds, Squirrel is one of the smallest manatee calves we have ever received through the program, while Scampi weighs approximately 200 pounds. Once the manatees are

The nine manatees (Stubby, Acorn, Einstein, Squirrel, Scampi, Lizzo, Cardi-Tee, MaryKate, and Ashley) at Manatee Coast receive 336 heads of romaine lettuce and 24 heads of endive lettuce daily. The lettuce is placed in different locations around the pool--either on the water's surface or sunk at the bottom with feeders made out of PVC pipe. (The keepers do this to keep the manatees from getting too accustomed to being fed in a particular way to help make their transition back to Florida waters e

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s Manatee Coast has a new resident, and it’s not a manatee this time…Meet male pelican, Skipper! Skipper arrived in Columbus, Ohio in November 2020. After completing his standard, mandatory quarantine period, Skipper was introduced to his habitat in Manatee Coast. In October 2019, Skipper was brought to the Texas State Aquarium for rehabilitation due to an injured wing. During that time, veterinarians had to amputate Skipper’s wing, making him non-releasable back to

Did you know? Manatees are relatives of the elephant! And like elephants, manatees have a very unique set of teeth. Molars are the only type of teeth you’ll find in a manatee’s mouth. Molars are perfect for grinding, which is necessary when eating a diet of underwater vegetation. Because of the sand that gets caught in the plants they consume, their teeth erode over a period of time. Good thing they continually being replaced! In the back of their jaw, new molars will come in and gradually move
