Larry has spotted many manatees. We first saw this one at Hobe Sound on the east coast of Florida. Manatees live in slow moving warm waters, eat eel grass and other vegetation and can live over 60 years. They have no natural predators. They do get hit by boats, tangled in fishing lines etc. There are many laws and signs posted urging their protection.
Last week, right here in Ft. Pierce we saw five sleeping at the end of a canal. I will add a close up of a mommy and baby.
