Question
The students gathered in the lobby of the aquarium as their science teacher, Mr. Abdul, explained what would take place during the field trip. “Boys and girls, there are three floors inside this aquarium because, as you know, there are a lot of sea creatures in Florida! We are going to start by looking at the sharks, stingrays, and fish. Then we’ll proceed to look at the manatees!”
No one knew what a manatee was, but it certainly sounded like a beautiful creature. The group cruised through the live exhibits, learning fun facts about the different aquatic species. “Look how beautiful those fish are,” Bella remarked to her friend, Tisha. “They look like rainbows after a thunderstorm!” she added. She pointed to the fish’s glowing ruby, aqua, and emerald colors.
Finally, they reached the manatee section where everyone took a step back in shock, especially Bella. She had never seen such a creature in her life. The manatees were enormous, and they had the funniest faces with downturned smiles. “Yuck!” she whispered, nudging Tisha on the arm.
“They do look, ummm, unique,” Tisha said.
Mr. Abdul shared some information about the manatees. “Manatees are also called sea cows,” he said as Bella and Tisha giggled. “This is because they are herbivores and do not eat other sea creatures. They are very gentle, kind of like teddy bears come to life!” Mr. Abdul continued.
Bella took a second look at the odd-looking sea cows, touched that they only ate plants. Manatees wouldn’t hurt you with deadly venom the way stingrays could. And they wouldn’t attack you in the water the way sharks might. “Maybe manatees aren’t so awful looking after all,” she whispered to Tisha, who nodded.
