Fiber Grating

So just what do the manatees do with this?

The fiber grating square is secured to the outside of the tank and suspended just below the water's surface. The manatees like to rub their vibrissae and pectoral flippers over it.

Materials:

1 18-inch by 18-inch square of fiber grating

1 nylon rope
