Who Am I?

1. I am a mammal whose closest relative is the elephant.

2. When I'm fully grown, I'll be 10 feet long and weigh almost a ton.

3. I graze for plant food along the bottom of the ocean and on the surface of the water.

4. Although I can live to 60 years or more, I am an endangered species.
