They must have thought it was a patch of seaweed or something, until it started following them. I wonder if they ever figured out it was just a curious manatee. #nature #ocean #wildlife #florida #animals

Perfect Timing! These dolphins have learned how to stun fish with their tails. Catching a fish isn't always easy, even for a dolphin. Dolphins that learn how to stun fish with their tails avoid the chase. I took the video near Tampa, Florida. #nature #animals #wildlife #florida #dolphins

Manatees control their buoyancy by farting. Manatees have terrible breath, but their farts are even worse. It's like rotten eggs and sulfur, with a side of smelly fish. When there's no wind you can smell them above water from a distance. #nature #animals #wildlife #florida #kayaking

Manatees have sensitive tactile hairs that cover their body. They connect to a nerve network & detect things underwater. This gives the manatee a view of its surroundings similar to a dolphin's sonar, but using a different process. #nature #animals #wildlife #florida #kayaking

Overly friendly Manatee holding my kayak and looking up through it. Always practice "passive observation" with manatees and don't touch, feed, chase or approach them. Let them come to you, they're very curious and often come right up to people. #nature #animals #wildlife #kayaking #florida

The invisible Manatee... even when manatees swim right by people in the ocean or gulf people usually don't see them. They're harmless, but it shows how oblivious people can be to what's in the water right next to them. Wear polarized glasses if u want to know #florida #beach #ocean #nature #animals
