Manatees touch snouts in the warm waters of the Three Sisters Springs wildlife refuge in Crystal River, Florida, US. More than 400 animals were in the area to escape from the cold gulf waters as manatees can not survive for long periods of time in cold water.

Going to see manatees this morning, which reminds me of that whole fiasco when I messed up my notes on an earlier trip and went looking for a manitou instead. Things got weird. Antlers were involved.

Crystal Springs, US
Tourists mingle in the water amongst the manatees at Three Sisters Springs in Florida. Large numbers of manatees congregate in the Crystal River refuge to shelter from cold spells and rest in the warmer water provided by the natural springs of Kings Bay.

Thousands of manatees and one of the most biodiverse estuaries in the country would be poisoned with 500,000 gallons of industrial wastewater a day if Jeff Bezos gets his way.

This is outrageous. The uber rich shouldn't be allowed to poison our world!

We got to see these mysterious creatures up close and personal. Watching them move seemed to calm my vagus nerve. Peaceful....They are mostly in the rivers, but sometimes they show up at the beach!

My 3 currently favorite animals :

Squirrels: energetic, in synergy with trees, pretty & bushy-tailed

Manatees: soft & round & quiet & gentle & swimming all day!

Donkeys: stubborn, horny, funny, strong

Facebook’s reach is rubbish, and Meta’s politics? 🤮 So, I’ve started sharing Marine Mammal News over on Tumblr. Yes, there are ads, but at least they’re not* shoving targeted political nonsense in your face (*as much).

If you’re into whales, dolphins, manatees and the like, please come follow along: marine-mammal-news.tumblr.com/
