A snorkeler in Florida was a little surprised when something grabbed onto her leg and wouldn’t let go - but it was just a friendly fella looking for a hug! Manatees basically can’t be mean because they never developed aggression. Manatees are nice and just want love 🥹 Kendra gets to swim around manatees regularly, and she knows that since they’re federally protected, she can’t hug them back (which must be very difficult).

This house comes with manatees in the backyard and it is currently for sale in Florida! You could spend your evenings sitting around a fire watching resting manatees with friends. 🥰 While manatees are nice and just want love (basically, manatees can’t be mean), it’s illegal to touch them because they’re federally protected. But having these water puppies (or sea potatoes) in your backyard might feel like having personal manatee friends. Plus, you’ll be able to watch manatees being cute all the time! The manatee property is a bit on the pricey side, but maybe a group of marine animal loving friends could go in on it together. Imagine getting to know a group of manatees and then seeing their new baby manatees each season! The property is currently a bed and breakfast, but the new owner could turn it into whatever they like. 📸 Zillow / Crystal Blue Lagoon Bed and Breakfast #manateesarenice #manateesbeingcute #restingmanatees #manateehouse #waterpuppies #marineanimals #babymanatee #manatees #cuteseacreatures #manateescantbemean

Did you know it is estimated that 90% of Manatees bear scars from boat collisions? 😢 Our guide Amanda spotted this particular manatee in King Spring just the other day, it has been reported and will be monitored for changes throughout the season by many volunteers, guides and captains here in Kings Bay. While this manatee seemed to be living a relatively normal life, other manatees aren't so lucky. These slow-moving animals are frequently struck by boats, which can lead to deep wounds, internal damage and even death. 💔 Everything comes down to education and awareness. While manatees are large, they can be difficult to see in the water. Please practice safe boating and use extra caution when in Manatee dwelling areas. Wear polarized sunglasses, obey all posted speed zones, and use a spotter on the boat for an extra set of eyes - a visible snout or large circles on the water are indicators that manatees are below the surface. And always give manatees space. It is also important to know the signs of a manatee in distress and who to call. ‼️ To Report a Sick, Injured, Dead, or Tagged Manatee - Call FWC's Wildlife Alert Line at 1-888-404-FWCC ‼️ While it tremendously hurts our hearts to see Manatees like this, it is truely amazing to see what these animals can survive and we greatly admire their resilience. 🫶🏼 @MermaidenSiren #manatees #manatee #manateetok #wildlife #animals #mammals #sealife #savethemanatees #wildlifeencounters #safeboating #crystalriverflorida

Our snorkeling tours are conducted through passive observation. We follow a set of guidelines from USFWS & FWC referred to as the ‘Manatee Manners’ which states you shall not touch, chase, harass, poke or feed wild manatees. This means no matter how much they want to “dance” with you, that you remain calm, freeze, float, and enjoy their presence. ✨ 🎥🤿 @thelocaltarzan #manatees #manateeseason #manateemanners #swimwiththemanatees #florida #crystalriverflorida #seacow #wildlifeencounters #animals #marinelife

As endangered as the Everglades, the springs and their inhabitants face many threats. An increase in tannic waters, declined flows, damming, excessive nutrients, and uncontrolled recreation. Florida’s once-pristine springs are a shadow of their past glory. A manatee’s boat scars are simply a part of adulthood for those that survive the collision. Fortunately, the briskness of this water keeps me in the moment amongst an environment existing despite it all. If there’s anything I’ve learned about Florida’s wild it's that its resilience begs us to support it. From electing environmentally conscious leaders to using organic fertilizer the wellbeing of our native habitats should be front and center in all of our decision making. #floridasprings #manatees #florida #wildlifephotography #naturevideography

Snorkelers should always mind their manatee manners when observing a wild manatee, which includes keeping your hands and feet to yourself, although the manatees don’t always follow that same rule. #vegasrules 🤣 “What happens in Crystal River stays in Crystal River” 🎥 Our guide @MermaidenSiren always capturing the memories for her guest on her tours! #manateetok #thislittlepiggy #manatees #swimwiththemanatees #seacows #passiveobservation #wildlifeencounter #wildlife #animals

𝙁𝙐𝙉 𝙁𝘼𝘾𝙏: Manatee eyes are small even though they are BIG animals. 👀 They do not have eyelids or eyelashes like we do. Instead they have muscles surrounding the eye that constrict until it closes, much like an aperture on a camera. #manateetok 🎥 @MermaidenSiren #manatees #seacow #manateeseason #swimwiththemanatees #crystalriverflorida #hunterspringskayaks #manateetouranddive #wildlife #creepydave #animaloftheday

Dear fellow travelers, Three Sisters Springs is a dream and you are missing out. 😍 At this time of year, manatees are seeking warm water refuge and Three Sisters is just one of the many sanctuaries here in Crystal River, where you can find hundreds, sometimes a thousand manatees or more on a cold winter day. ❄️ At Manatee Tour & Dive, you can join us any day of the week and snorkel with these beautiful animals in their natural habitat.

Manatee Season in Crystal River is marked until the end of March. However, we are currently experiencing warm weather in the 80s, and almost all of the manatees in Kings Bay have migrated back to the Gulf of Mexico in search of food. The manatees have been what we call “spring-locked” the last few months during the cold winter, therefore them being able to migrate back out is very beneficial for their health. 💚 We are seeing a few here and there, but please understand with minimal sightings at this time, there are no guarantees to seeing one in such a large natural habitat under these conditions. In 2023 we had Hurricane Idalia, which brought a great deal of damage to our recently restored aquatic ecosystem. The typical lush, green seagrass in Kings Bay that you see in this video has diminished leaving little to no grass in the bay for the manatees to eat due to the amount of salinity that was brought in from the storm surge. However the root system is beginning to show a slow comeback! 🌱 Overall, we just want everyone aware of the conditions prior to an experience with us. We are still conducting tours and paddlecraft rentals DAILY! There is plenty of wildlife to see from various fish to turtles to dolphins, birds and more. The springs are open for swimming, snorkeling and diving! 💦 Spring Break is upon us and we are filling up fast, book now while there are still openings! 🔗 LINK IN THE BIO #manatees #manateetok #swimwiththemanatees #threesisterssprings #floridasprings #florida #wildanimals #animalencounters #crystalriverflorida #asmr #asmreating

Did you know that the manatee's mammary glands are located behind the flippers? Mother manatees will nurse their calves from these mammary glands and they can swim while nursing, so they don't need to stop. They have mammary glands behind each flipper so they can potentially nurse two calves at once. Calves depend on their mothers for 1-2 years before being weaned.
