Each year, hundreds of critically endangered manatees are killed in U.S. waters by boats, disease and cold weather. With only a few thousand remaining in the wild, the clock is ticking in efforts to save this amazing mammal from extinction. Another rare species and close relative of manatees is the dugong which clings to survival in a few isolated corners of the globe. The program also includes thrilling captures and field exams of manatees in Florida wetlands.
