Antillean manatees cruise the coastlines of Puerto Rico, spending most of their time feeding on the sea grass. But while they graze, they are vulnerable to being struck by speeding jet-skis and boats. At the Manatee Conservation Center, just outside the capital city of San Juan, several injured individuals and orphans are on their way to release in the wild.

Could we create sea grass fields? Creating areas where manatees can be kept and safely live while also making it a popular attraction for tourist. We can make a small part of the field the drop off area and put a strict limit to the number of people In the fields and have divers watch them to make sure no tries to make so shit “ancient medicine” out of them
That'd be cool. After all,they are dubbed Sea Cows for a reason.
That's a lovely idea
I’m with this 🙌🏿
They’re now threatened instead of endangered. That’s amazing progress for such short time
This is a great idea, it would be a challenge to find funding and public support for what would essentially be a marine protected area in Florida
In puerto rico these are sacred animals to us we don't touch them we leave them be in peace but a lot of tourists break the rules thank you for the work you're doing.
Stop attacking his family!
Situation
Indivijual
Gord will protect his family situation. Glad to see some fellow DP fans of old in here.
@@sunkcostfallacy2738 Some of us indivijuls will never forget those situations.
@@jackjohnson1128What happened to the RV trip to the Moon TJ was supposed to take? He scammed you again!
Boop that squishy snoot 💓
I have personally never met a manatee but i would love to. my parents forced me to go to gun camp instead of florida where i would have met a manatee in person. unfortunately my dreams were crushed. someone please adopt ASAP. im nineteen and i can make rice.
the manatee 🥰🥰🥰🥰
those are cute af
No cheese
Chili?
Brett?

Hehehe
We must protect the Manatees.
Well I know one indivijul Manatee situation we leave unprotected.
Yes we must
gentle sea cows
Ehyug
The squish mellow version: 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
These are some of the most gentle and peaceful creatures on earth 😢
Manatees are not an animal we want extinct.They are not a threat to humans & deserve more respect by humans that use the water.
im crying manatees are so beautiful
That's a pretty tough individul situation going orn there.
Corm orn Gord
semenly
beautiful creature
This is one of the biggest reasons why I hate jetskis and engine boats, but that’s not the only resoason, another reasons are that they are the biggest cause of sea pollution in my opinion cuz they throw oil
Hehheh anyone watching at 1:00
Save dem manatees don't boat in their waters
they are the real mermaids :D
Press 0:39 for indivijul situation
Yes
So cute
They just end the story there?! I want to know what happens! Do they stay together?
I'm pretty certain I saw this guy folding space in the old Dune movie.
The baby manatee is adorable!!!!!!!🤣😀😍
I fish out of a kayak in Florida and manatees scare me more than sharks or gators. They are so slowmoving and fond of laying on the bottom, it's very easy to drift over one and not know it until you spook them. The you are in shallow water, in a kayak over a thousand pound frightened animal.
omgoogles. I love them SO MUCH. I love all Sea Mammals really, they are so awesome to watch, and (most of them) are so smart! Dolphins, Orcas, Whales, Sea Otters, etc. The Manatee has a special place in my heart though. I mean, just LOOK AT THAT FACE!
They are beautiful, all of God creations are beautiful and they all serve a purpose.
As God made them.
No lol what about ebola and ants?
@@moistbananananabread1884 Well, excuse you for putting it in such a negative perspective but everything God created has a purpose that only he knows and can envision. We won't/don't understand it but he certainly can and does.
@@moistbananananabread1884 We may never know it, but its always there - the reason is and only the Lord will ever know it.
You didn't even answer my question... And what do you mean negative perspective? I'm saying not everything in life has a purpose.
Humans are such butchers and killers!! Im getting so sick of these people who left alone animals just to be extinct.
This is my new spirit animal
Beautiful, just Beautiful.
Or harp seals
A sea potatoes
Cutest animal in the ocean?
I will go and work there!!!! I love manatees
These animals are so gentle and peaceful... such a shame they are plagued by boats ....thank God this place is here
I could go to festus Missouri to meet a manatee individjul
Brett keane youre not as slick as you think
I lovee the manateee! ♥
Did anyone else watch Owls on Nature Wednesday night? I love how huge their heads are, mostly for sound. :) ♥
I love sitting there orn GamesULove and playing Elder Scrolls Ornline with my waterheaded idiot family since I am a particular matinee indivijul.
1:15 The narrator, talks about manatees
Me OMG YOUR SO CUTE I WANNA SQUISH YOUR FACE!!!
Does anyone know what happened to these manatees after they were released? Did they stay together? I can't find the rest of this episode anywhere. I need to know if they are still friends.
Why I never heard about that animal in my entire life
OH! really? They are sweet, curious creatures that live here in Florida mostly. You can swim and kayak with them in the springs in the winter and cooler months. They get hurt by boats. A LOT, in fact, they almost went extinct but humans are more aware of them now and there are so many great programs out there like this, working hard to keep the species strong so we can enjoy them forever.
Gotta love the sea blimps
I love them 😍💕
Ban high speed jet skis and boats. Easier said than done I know, I'm sure there is financial incentive not to do it but still. What matters more a fat American having a fun vacation in the tropics or real living beings and habitats?
People suck...
Cute Sea potatos!
Don't let them go extinct
Manatees are so adorable and beautiful.
cute
Beautiful babies!!😘😘🥰🥰🤗❤❤❤❤❤🙏
Awe
I dont know why but i always say they are not cute but the truth im just not trying to aww
:0 they are cute
*Meet the Team Music Plays*
Manatees are the cutest things in the ocean and manta rays are 2
There are so cute (to me lol) !!
0:39 I think the narrator meant to say: The survivor of each indivijul situation*
Aw. So precious. ❤
Awe ❤
Sea Potatoes are the best
Such a sweet, innocent creature. I love them. ❤
❤️❤️😍
Must be totally bun jets- ski and power boat ther territory a,s,a,p.
The earth is like a sock; the land and sea inverted is the same way, it mirrors geographically, but only humans are destroying everything above sea level and the ecology in the water....
I love them sm TT
So glad it's multi-player
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME EEEE
Hey !!!!! That's my nickname :)
Excellent video and thanks for what you do!
They need way more room and they need sea weed brought in to make in seem more like their natural habitat.
They are fed homegrown seaweed that are kept in aquaculture pools.
The two in the same pool got released already. Ideally no manatee would ever be in a pool but because of injuries or sickness some have to spend a short time in pools before being released. Gua cara the large one literally cannot be in a bigger pool because he would drown because of his collapsed lung. He can’t float and gets exhausted easily
My fav riot animal is the manatee
Well it worked out for them! 😀
chonky seal
Sea Cows
what are thos etags on my babies are u tryna kidnapp or waht
so many spelling mistakes who even are u
Manatees aren't Puerto Rican, they're actually native to Missouri.
giant potato
These animals aren’t real. Why do people believe in them so strongly??
Bruh, these animals actually exist
Manny tell, how does it not look real, what the hell u be looking at.
Why do I wanna smack one
1:13 Awwwww x3
I don't mind conservation centers tracking manatees but are we sure those tail collars won't get snagged on anything?
It has a release mechanism that will break if there’s a bit of pressure.
