A young manatee, almost a baby, swimming in the gulf through tourists at the beach near Clearwater, Florida. Most of the people didn't even see it. It was looking for its mom, they got separated when people started crowding and chasing after them earlier. #nature #animals #florida #wildlife #beach

Curious Manatees. A lot of people mistake the curiosity of manatees to mean they love people. These manatees came up to check the boat out & one followed the paddleboard as we towed it back to the dock. It's illegal to touch, feed, or harass manatees. #nature #animals #florida #wildlife #manatees

The traffic leaving Florida for the hurricane right now :-) Seriously though, manatees don't leave Florida when a hurricane comes. Every now and then a few might get stranded but for the most part they don't have any problem dealing with the hurricanes. #nature #animals #wildlife #florida

Absolutely Epic! Hundreds of thousands of rays off the coast of #florida. This is probably the most #amazing spectacle I've seen in #nature. Rays gather in large groups for mating & migration. The size of the groups fluctuates from year to year. #animals #wildlife #naturephotography

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
