Manatees are not territorial animals. Because they have evolved with few natural enemies, they have not needed the protection or cooperation of a herd. Consequently, they are semi-social, somewhat solitary animals. They sometimes gather in small, informal groups, but they have no leader or real herd structure. Manatee gatherings, called "aggregations," are largely due to common habitat requirements such as warm water, fresh water, or food sources.

[–]retrogradeorbiter 130ポイント131ポイント  (14子コメント)

Much less fat. Manatees are almost solid muscle, which is why they have to stay in warm water and get so messed up when there is a sudden cold snap.

[–]mikerhoa 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'll take over:

Manatees are often known to drive tractors at night, sometimes even racing them during mating rituals. During the actual process of mating manatees can be cruel and vindictive lovers, which runs counter to their gentle depictions in the media. The female manatee will usually sit at a distance from the male, shouting lurid instructions at him while wearing an exaggerated look of disgust. It is only when the male is totally humiliated is he finally allowed to engage her sexually, and even then she kinda rolls her eyes.

It's actually quite beautiful to watch...

    There is a pier out in the ocean where we vacation where you can go out and fish. One day we were out there, saw a huge school of fish swim by, followed by 5 sharks and a manatee. Manatee just chilling in the middle of the sharks like he was trying to blend in.

    Nah it disturbs people, but only select minorities like gingers/people with hayfever/nut allergies. They just get real frustrated and it dampens their mood everytime the manatees fly over. 'Beautiful day toda...oh. Great. Manatees. Time to launch off something high.'

    Many manatees are killed from these encounters. However, the cut doesn't look very deep in this instance, kind of a surface wound. I'm sure it bled, but not enough to kill the manatee this time.

    They look mostly healthy otherwise though. Probably just because motor boats don't go in that kind of water often. The ones that frequent salt water are usually mostly white from scars. I see them all over the St. Pete/Tampa area though so hopefully we're on the right track.

        In the winter, they move upriver to freshwater springs, where the temperature never drops below the sixties. In the warm months, they move towards the gulf, into more brackish water.

        I went kayaking with a friend down Homosassa Springs and came upon a HUGE herd of manatees. Probably around 15-20 of them. They all surrounded our kayaks and a baby manatee was especially intrigued. While the rest eventually moved on the baby and his mother hung out with us for a good 20 minutes. It was a pretty surreal experience, they are amazing creatures.

          [–]phroug2 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

          Yes. By anyone who saw you do it. in Florida there tends to be a deep respect for these creatures that's pretty deeply embedded in the culture. (mostly due to the manatee's docile nature and how many of them have been killed in the past for dumb reasons. Also they're protected and riding them is illegal) Riding/harassing manatees in any way tends to invoke strong negative emotions from the general public.

          Cool. I've seen large groups of manatees in Wakulla Springs. I've always assumed they came down-river and found the area near the actual springs to be a safe and protected place.

          I would have gotten so excited I would have lost my balance, fallen off my paddle board, and been attacked. Though I'd like to think that manatees are so peaceful they would just poke me to death with their noses.

          these guys are protected really seriously in florida. your not supposed to even go near them. i was wading around in a channel way in southern florida and three or four of them just kind of swam up to us and hung out for a while. we petted one of them and scratched the back of his head. he followed my gf around for about an hour. they seemed to enjoy the interaction. the dolphins were the superstars they like to play.

          That water is amazingly clear, especially for a river in the woods.

          They do move in herds...

          What happens if you try to swim with them peacefully that is. Do they just get scared off? Can they move quickly. I want to swim with manatees someone fill me in

          I've been snorkeling with manatees before. They just kind of chill. You can touch them a little and feed them lettuce, but they don't really interact with you. And, I remember there were certain buoys that humans couldn't go past so that the manatees could have their privacy, so if they get tired of you, they just swim away.

          Swam with one last week. It was part of a family, with a calf nearby.

          It was resting on the ocean floor about 15 feet off the beach. Pretty easy to spot a big shadow just chillin and not really moving.

          Swam out to it really slowly with fins, mask, etc on. Ran my hand down its back and felt all the scars, rubbed it's head. It sorta swam around a circle with me, let me rub it's belly.

          Swam off for about 5 minutes and then swam right back up to me and bumped me, then swam back to its calf.

          Pretty cool experience, lucky I had my GoPro with me even if visibility wasn't great.
