The Manatee puzzle by artist William Bock features the magnificent manatee in its underwater habitat. In short, this 550-piece jigsaw puzzle is a beautiful tribute to a gentle giant.
About the Artwork
Manatees are found as far west as Texas and as far north as Massachusetts. However, they’re most commonly found in Florida during the winter months.
In addition, William Bock does a beautiful job of capturing this mammal and its underwater world. As a result, the puzzle feels calm and peaceful.

Manatees are gentle, slow-moving plant eaters that spend much of their day grazing on sea grass. Because of that calm nature, many people call them sea cows. Their soft gray color adds a soothing tone to the puzzle.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the manatee, using its shape as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on any fish or plants around it. After that, piece together the sea floor. Finally, fill in the water, sorting those pieces by shade.
