Manatees reach sexual maturity in 3-5 years (females) and 5-7 years (males) and may live over 65 years in captivity. Gestation is approximately 13 months and usually one calf is born. The calf may stay with its mother (cow) for up to 2 years. Male manatees (bulls) are not part of the family unit.
Butternut Squash can be easy to prepare in minutes. Cut the Butternut Squash lengthwise. Scoop the seeds out of the Butternut Squash. Place Butternut Squash in a microwave proof container, add 2 teaspoons of water to the squash where you had scooped out seeds. Cover and microwave 6 minutes on high. Scoop out squash and place in bowl. Serve hot with butter and/or brown sugar or maple syrup.
Next, you want to put the squash, face down, in a 9Ã13 glass baking dish. Fill the dish with about an inch of water and microwave the squash for 15 minutes. Check to see if the squash is soft enough â it may need 3 to 5 more minutes to cook. The squash will be steaming hot â be careful when removing from microwave.
