Florida is home to an estimated 6,250 manatees. They’re also known as “sea cows”. You can learn more about manatees or become a supporter by adopting a manatee through the Save The Manatee Club.
If you have time during your visit to the area, visit the manatees at Homosassa Springs.
The video below is worth watching. If you didn’t think manatees just hung the moon before, you will now! (Note: This story was from 2016.)
Seven manatees were stranded on a golf course in Crystal River, one of which was a baby. These guys aren’t small, so moving even a baby is a huge undertaking.
