ORLANDO, Fla. — National Geographic’s “Underdogs,” narrated by Ryan Reynolds, is shining the spotlight on some of the misfits of the animal kingdom to finally give them the recognition they deserve.
Many of these outcasts and oddballs can be found at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.
One such animal is the humble manatee.
“Manatees aren’t gross, they’re adorable,” Reynolds says.
Manatees are unique because unlike dolphins or whales, they don’t have blubber, making them far more sensitive to the cold.
Because of this difference, these gentle giants spend their days in warm coastal waters, just floating around and chowing down on seagrass.
To learn more about these amazing animals, visit Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, and stream “Underdogs” now on Disney+ and Disney+ on Hulu.
Disney is the parent company of National Geographic, Disney+, Hulu and this ABC station.
