Happy Manatee Day! Did you know manatees have "marching molars?" They continuously produce teeth in the back of their mouths, and when their front teeth get worn down from all the seagrass chewing, they fall out and the remaining teeth "march" forward!
What are some of your favorite #manatee facts?

And the answer is....MANATEE!

ℹ️ Did you know? There are several species of manatees, including the Florida manatee (a subspecies of the West Indian manatee), the Antillean manatee, the Amazonian manatee, and the African manatee!

They can't stop us when we know we're on the right side of history. Like if you agree that #DEI is a necessary part of ALL workplaces! #conservation #nonprofit #resist

Day one of trying to become the first account Jaylen Brown @fchwpo.bsky.social follows on here because our Executive Director is a #Celtics fan! Oh and also our mission of advancing conservation through equity seems to align with his educational interests. #conservation #education #equity

Black history is conservation history.

At the Wildlife Research Alliance, we stand with Black scientists, conservationists, and communities. Equity in science matters, and we’re committed to creating spaces where diversity thrives.
