Fauna: The Hidden, Beautiful World of Manatees

Sirenia Shadows captures the slow-moving grace of Florida’s most unlikely aquatic stars, West Indian manatees. The animals, of the order sirenia, evolved from four-legged mammals and weigh between 440 and 1,300 pounds, swimming at an average speed of three to five miles per hour. This beautifully shot film was created by Paul Wildman, a creative director and filmmaker whose production company, Built by Wildman, specializes in underwater filmmaking and environmental conservation.
