    CHALLENGE QUESTION #8
    There will be more manatees in The run if the water temperature there is higher than the river. Suppose the temperature in The Run was lower than the river, more manatees would go to the river.If the temprature in the river and The Run were the same (22 degrees), there would be very few or no manatees in The Run maybe because they like the flowing of the river, or because they can find food there.

    >From the data, it seems there is no relationship between the air temperature and the appearance of the Manatees in the run. Manatees would not care about the air temperature because they live in water and not in the air.
