A Friendly Manatee!

This Manatee swam right up to our boat out in the intracoastal waterway in Englewood FL! I was started at first when his head popped out of the water, but I soon realized he was acting very friendly. He loved the attention and did not leave the side of the boat for a good 45 minutes! These must be the sweetest friendliest creatures in the ocean - and maybe on land too.
