Here are some pictures of Missy, the manatee I met at Crystal River in Florida back in January. Manatees are an Endangered Species. She came right up to the boat and played with us like a kitten.
We cleaned her and she cleaned the boat. She had algae on her skin and so did the bottom of the boat.
Missy likes Crystal River in the winter because the air is cold and the spring water there is warm, much warmer than the ocean water. Manatees eat aquatic plants.
Did you know that Manatees have fingernails. They do. Their ancestors lived on land.
