Hooray for manatees!


It has been cold here in Florida so all the manatees float upriver to this place where there's a power plant. All the warm exhaust water calls to the manatees and they heed that call with all the swiftness in their huge manatees bodies. It's pretty cool, because in this small area of the river, there's 50 or 60 of them, floating around, right under the water. Then they come up to breathe every once in a while. I took a picture of that, but it's not very impressive, so I took a picture of this instead. It says that if you love the manatees, you shouldn't feed them. Alot of them get run over by boats and junk. I love the manatees, so I don't feed them. Except for a few hotdogs and some salt water taffy.
