This was a lot of work but so fun! Manatees are absolutely adorable and I love getting to see them when I visit my family in Florida for Christmas. Winter is the best time to see them as they gather in warm water. In spite of being so LORGE they are actually not very good at keeping themselves warm!
Manatees are endangered and their habitat supports so many other types of life, it needs to be protected! If you want to share your love of manatees this pattern is available as fabric, wallpaper and hone decor on my Spoonflower page: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kittrel and as all sorts of other merch on my Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/159855861
