Upside down Manatee holding on to a clear boat, and snorting. This manatee spent a long time checking out the clear catamaran and looking up through it. He snorted a couple of times as well. Manatees have a number of different vocalizations, most of them can only be heard underwater and sound like squeaks. . . #animals #nature #wildlife #manatee #seethroughcanoe #florida #stpetersburgflorida #fortdesoto #shellkey #tierraverde #naturephotography #ocean #sea #encounters #boating #kayaking #clearbo

SUCCESSFUL MANATEE RESCUE! This morning, Dolphin Research Center’s Manatee Rescue Team and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) rescued a very young manatee in Marathon, FL. The approximately 5-foot male calf was monitored without interference for over 24 hours to determine that he was, in fact, orphaned and not being cared for by an adult manatee. He was evaluated onsite by Dolphin Research Center Veterinarian, Dr. Scott Gearhart and is being transported to SeaWorld Orlando
