How do you water a Manatee as they are aquatic mammals that live entirely in the water..

Another version of: don't feed the bears. Good advice.

So are people putting a bowl of fresh water out for them? and expecting them to crawl out of the river to drink it?

Actually they will come up to boats where people pour water into their mouths. I've done it.....a long time ago.

I've seen manatees drinking water provided by people. Lots of folks have fish cleaning stations on their docks and the manatees line up to drink the water that flows through the cleaning tables.
