I was in Fort Lauderdale on a dark blue raft. A Manatee glided right under my raft. He then turned around and from behind me his face came out of the water. His nostrils flared as if to smell me and he looked right into my eyes. He was very curious. I had never seen one this close. He looked a lot like a dog to me. For such a huge animal he moved through the water so smoothly.
Home sweet home! I live a short distance away from here in Altamonte Springs, and love going here every so often. I'm so happy now I can see them anytime I want! Thank you for sharing this.
@@silliaek no one at the dive shop said anything. I held my hand out as the manatee swam by and it used it's flipper to push my hand to it's belly and moved my hand back and forth. It was amazing. Also it was amazing to see it had what looked like our finger nails. The entire experience was spiritual.
49:35 There is an underwater stream??! There appears to be a shallow stream of water flowing over the ground. Is that a spring? Is the spring water a different density than the main body of water?
There's an underground spring that feeds it. We called it "The Boil" and I was afraid to swim over it. Back then you parked in a field and followed a path through the woods to get there. Best rope swing ever. No boardwalk either.
sea grass and unfortunately currently alot of them are starving to death for lack of sea grass due to people using pesticides on lawns so sad. 100's dead,

Да эти животные плавно плавают в воде и такие спокойные, и за ними с интересом наблюдаешь. Вола придает приносит спокойствие

Add to the beauty of watching them glide through the water by listening to Metamorphosis-
Philip Glass it's poetry in motion 🙂
56:42 - 56:49 I love how the Pleckos check them out to see if they have a good crop of algae on their skin that needs cleaning off. 😋😁😁

Whoa those sea turds are alive!
The breakable silica connolly supply because kendo microbiologically correct behind a cynical hand. ratty, deeply judge
The responsible santa laparoscopically crawl because animal neurobiologically stretch within a overconfident john. quiet, poised fedelini
No grass for the sea cows.😔
