Manatees

Thats very cool....if you want to see a bear come to my house. They eat the birdseed right out of the feeders. Last year one hid a deer carcass in my yard to "age" before he ate it. :hurl:

If you want to see corn and soybeans come to my house!!! Yay for living in the middle of nowhere where we have nothing but fields. Go IL!!! Alright, so you're not going to want to come here, but we do have some cool raccoons, opposums, and deer. Oh and lots of birds if you like them too! :animwink: Sorry, I had to do it. There's not much fun to do around here, so don't visit. If you want, visit Chicago, it's like another state. haha

I've been to the Living Seas a couple times and have never seen the manatees. They're my favorite animals!

What part of Florida can you go to see the Manatees? We haven't ventured outside of Orlando yet since moving here (except for Grandparent visits in Melbourne and Delray Beach).

There are commercial outfitter at the Crystal River that have Manatee snorkel trips.

Since you can swim with dolphins...i really wish you could swim with manatees. of course i dont want them to do tricks and such.....i would LOVE to just swim with them. I went to the Seaworld in San Diego last year and they had a bunch of rescued manatees, it was really sad to see their backs cut or half their tail missing..but the best part is that they are rescued and are healthy. After the day at Seaworld, i couldnt resist buying a manatee plush for myself .

One time while at WDW we were watching the manatees and one of them...are you ready for this...BREECHED. Yes like Shamu and other whales, exept of coure this is a manatee. The lady said it was very odd for that to happen. I guess you would call us lucky...we didn't get wet but the water splashed all over a guy in a full leg cast.
