Crochet An Amigurumi To Have A Happy Manatee Appreciation Day!

Posted by Danielle | Mar 30, 2016 | Amigurumi & Kawaii, Crochet Hacks | 1 |

Manatee Appreciate Day happens every year, the last Wednesday of March.

“Manatee Appreciation Day is devoted to raising awareness about these quirky creatures. Unfortunately, manatees are endangered. Although hunting manatees is usually illegal, they continue to be poached for their meat and hide. Also, manatees are often fatally injured in collisions with boats. It is important to increase manatee awareness so that these fascinating animals will continue to exist in the future.”

Get the pattern for the manatee here, via Etsy, designed by Irina and Ilaria of Amigurumi Adventures.
