The Florida Manatee

The Florida manatee is a conservation success story, with as few as 1,000 remaining in the wild just a few decades ago. Unfortunately, this docile, lovable marine mammal faces new threats. Learn more about the Florida manatee, and what we can do to conserve this species along with its fragile habitats.

I wish the whole world was more concerned with wildlife preservation.

I just saw two of these beautiful animals just in front of me in the water here in florida. I had to learn more about them. Great video from a small channel, keep it up.

Those adorable flippers and the they way they use them to express themselves is precious.

I love sea cows. They are adorable and swimming with them is so much fun. They really are so cute

It is NOT the only place where it is “legal” to swim with manatees in the wild. That is a lie spread by the tour boat operators to scare business their way. It’s the only place monitored by the FWC on a regular basis. The laws regarding swimming with manatees applies to the entire state, Crystal River gets no special treatment or privileges regarding manatee interaction.

[dylanwalker]

This is my favorite animal, I live in Florida, and got to see them at I believe salt water springs. I've swam with them they're so derpy, and peaceful.

I wish to pet, but alas I cannot, only observe

[miguelcarunchod.]

I might expeculate one the main reasons of the lack of food is because the manatees no longer migrate on winter and instead stay next to electric power plants where the water is warmer but there are less grass available for them. Those lazy adorable buns.

Ugly? I do declare, that’s offensive to me and my manatee faimily.

[GroundZerMike]

Learning about these beautiful creatures is amazing.

Is it just me or is the mermaid at 5:15 a foxy minx? Her whiskery moustache and thick blubber have me flustered.

I’m amazed at the number of tourists who come here and don’t know what a manatee is! People were actually asking if they were dangerous 😂😂

[theryanchannel]

Blue Spring is a state park of the Save the Manatee club, a club you can join online and even adopt a manatee! I would know, it was my birthday present from my parents
