Question

Passage
It is hard for some people to believe that manatees are a distant relative of elephants. After all, manatees live underwater and have flipper-like feet. However, many scientists believe that manatees evolved from four-legged land mammals over 60 million years ago. Manatees, like elephants, are pretty big—an adult weighs about two tons! The biggest similarity is the manatee’s large, flexible, upper lip, which acts like a shortened trunk. Manatees use their lips—or “trunks”—to gather food, eat, and interact with other manatees.
