West Indian Manatee GTA 6 wildlife
Gentle, slow-moving sea cows named by Rockstar, likely found in Vice City's calm bays and the warm shallows of the Keys.
Manatees are one of the four species Rockstar named in Game Informer's cover story. They are huge, gentle and slow, grazing on sea grass in calm, warm water, and in the real Florida they gather in bays, canals and river mouths, especially in winter.
The sheltered water around Watson Bay, the fishing town on the Gulf coast of the Grassrivers, is the most likely place to find them on our map, along with the calm bay behind Vice Beach and the shallows of the Leonida Keys. Go slowly by boat or kayak and watch for a nose breaking the surface. We will pin their real spots on launch day.
