We live on an island. At least they call it an island. Anyway, there is water everywhere in our neighborhood and we live a short walk from a large lake. Tonight we headed out to the dock and were pleasantly surprised by this guy.
Not only was this manatee swimming within arms reach, he brought about 15 of his manatee friends with him. I was so upset with myself that I didn’t bring my camera with me (like I always do). I did catch this short video with my phone.
Ignore my shhh’ing the kids. For some reason I thought they would swim away with the noise, but they didn’t. They swam closer. Go figure….
