Manatee
             Hi everyone I am going to tell you a little bit about Manatee's and Sassafras trees. I am going to start by telling you a little bit about Manatee's. Manatee's look like seals and whales mixed together, funny right. Guess what some people think that since they are so smooth and chubby looking so they call them the teddy bear of the sea.  Manatee's love relaxation 1st of all because they are slow and cannot do much, 2nd of all they do not have many things to do but relaxation. You can usually spot Manatee's during early spring in Florida's coastal rivers. The Manatee's diet is basically sea grass and some other small plants that are easy to suck up. There are 2 other animals in the Manatee's animal family the Du-gong and the Sea-cow. They both look alike to the Manatee.

                      Sassafras Tree
            The Sassafras tree belongs to the Laurel family. They can usually be found at around 20-60 feet high, but you can rarely find any 100 foot ones. In the summer the female trees produce fruit that is blue purple or red, the fruits are not edible but the roots, stem, and the leaves are edible. In the fall the Sassafras trees leaves all change in color they can turn red, orange, blue, or purple! Native Americans used the Sassafras tree's to cure fever, diarrhea, common cold, toothache, mental disorders, arthritis, sore eyes, kidney failure, insect bites, nosebleed, cuts, and sprained ankles!!!
