It's really neat. We go to the power plant near Tampa to see them. There are usually about 10 or so along with some little sharks.

my cell camera is a POS, hence the lack of pics

there was a massive alligator on a log near the entrance/exit to the ST Johns river that many several manatees were just floating near... the gator didnt even bother

I used to live on the indian river as a kid. A couple times while swimming a manatee came up to us and let us pet it and what not. Cool stuff.

I wouldn't recommend swimming in it now though. It has gone to shit.

No real purpose here other than to think to yourself while doing it, "ahhh yes the Fishhook......".

We're going to go see them in March when my in-laws are here. I'm excited.

i dont think i have ever seen any mass of animals migrate anywhere, (aside from the chicks F_D stalks) and it was cool to see so many in one spot - many had babies.

i've seen onesy twosies when i lived on the hillsborough river, but nothing en masse.
