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.
Microwave on high 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until oil is very hot. Add mushrooms and green onions; cover loosely with waxed paper. Microwave on high 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once, until mushrooms are just tender. Stir in salt and pepper. Cut squash in half lengthwise and discard seeds. Using fork, remove flesh from shell (it will come out in spaghetti like strands) and add to mushroom mixture. Toss until coated with oil. Place in serving dish, or, if desired, serve mixture in shell half. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
