Cows also live in the ocean, eating 10 times their weight. The propeller of a huge ship has become the enemy

Climate change is affecting manatee-like creatures known as sea cows. However, sea cows are most at risk from the propellers of marine vessels. Heavy-bodied marine cows cover a distance of barely 5 to 6 km per hour, so the speeding ship falls into the lower propeller and dies. Marine cows are also being injured as the number of ships at sea has increased.

This sea cow weighs 150 to 200 kg and is 2.5 to 5 meters long. Its body is elliptical, making it easy to swim. It eats seaweed like mangoes with its own mouth. He eats 10 times more than his own weight. This sea cow takes 2 to 3 hours daily to graze.

Floating deeper than sea level, this creature frequently comes to the surface to breathe. Temperatures of 15 degrees or more are more favorable. The sea cow is a very shy animal that does not come close to man as soon as possible. Inhospitable places where very few sea creatures live.

In addition to the Gulf of Mannar in India it was found in Malabar and Andaman. This sea cow is found all over the world, from Madagascar to the northeast coast of Australia. The population of this marine life is estimated to be around 2000. A 40-million-year-old sea cow fossil has been found in Central America and has been in the ocean for centuries.

Sea Cow was found in Thailand in 2017 and was rescued. The cow, named Mariham, was given a variety of seaweed and milk in her diet for seven months but could not be saved. Cows living in the sea are just as dangerous as cows on land.
