National Geographic's 'Underdogs' celebrates the misfits and oddballs of the animal kingdom
Briefly

National Geographic's 'Underdogs' features animals typically regarded as misfits, showcasing their unique qualities and endearing traits. The focus is on manatees, which differ from dolphins and whales as they lack blubber, rendering them sensitive to cold temperatures. This sensitivity necessitates their presence in warm coastal waters, where they spend their time leisurely floating and consuming seagrass. The program narrated by Ryan Reynolds aims to elevate the status of these charming creatures and others like them, acknowledging their rightful place in the animal kingdom.
"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.
These gentle giants spend their days in warm coastal waters, just floating around and chowing down on seagrass.
National Geographic's 'Underdogs' is shining the spotlight on some of the misfits of the animal kingdom to give them the recognition they deserve.
