A lot of people don’t know that hilton head gets manatees…

Hilton Head doesn’t have manatees year round, however we do see them in the warmer months. This is because manatees cannot tolerate prolonged exposure to very cold water (below 68º F), and in the winter will migrate to areas of warm water for survival. Despite their blubbery size and shape, Manatees don't have much blubber to keep warm. They may look fat, but their body mass is made up of mostly their stomach and intestines.
