A group of manatees is commonly referred to as a ‘herd’.
Manatees are gentle, aquatic mammals that are often found in warm coastal waters and rivers. While they are usually solitary creatures, they sometimes gather in groups for feeding or during migrations. The term ‘herd’ reflects their social nature, especially when they come together in larger numbers. These gatherings can be quite special to observe, as the manatees exhibit interesting behaviors while interacting with one another.
