  • Its like a walrus without teeth.

  • I want a manatee necklace and a stuffed manatee!!!^_^

  • manatee just don't give a fuck

  • Hahah, i love when the manatee tries to eat his head. I wanna help save the manatees. They're so cute and gentle, they dont' deserve to die out :/

  • They should make all motor boats in Florida be equipped with theses.

  • That may be nice, but i bet that sound pisses up other animals

  • For Ed and Laura they know how it feels; the Jewish population is nearly extinct too.

  • Dolphins are ffacinated by the spinning off a ships propeller, that is until they get chopped to pieces, this is such a simple problem to solve, all new ships and boats should position their propellers WITHIN the hull!!!

  • Boat propellers should be required to be in an enclosure, manatees are not the only creatures that fall victim to them, dolphins and whales are often harmed by them as well!!!

  • Should be made law to have these devises on any boat that rides the manatees waters. Top work by these scientists.

  • I hate how the narrator says puzzling

  • Stupid boat propelers.

  • @LFCjohn1996 Who's to say they arent? Evolution isnt only the physical appearance. Maybe a monkey somewhere has been born with DNA that gives it an immunity to AIDS. You wouldnt even notice because it was one lone monkey, but what about when it has kids? Soon more and more monkeys will be immune to AIDS and thats evolution: changes in a species over time.

  • naaaa

  • It's weird that the ad before this was for seafood.

  • WAIT MANATEES ARE NOT A FAMILY OF SEALS ???

  • Thumbs up if you think the guy looks like a manatee

  • 0:59 "OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!"

  • And2 years later..nope we don't have that frequency sound!....sad...

  • and when i went to the waters beside cape Canaveral with cameras and sound equipment they sent me to guitmo.... sorry for the political humor i don't want to start an e-argument or an i-argument if your on a mac

  • This is very sad, I hate how people are so rude & just run over the Manatees in the lakes/oceans!!! I cant stand it 9if you support Manatees like I do people join my Manatee group

  • @LFCjohn1996 haaa???? pls i dont believe im a monkey but its your choice in what you believe in

  • Regardless of what everyone else is arguing about on this (I don't care to waste my time reading all this), I think this is a wonderful thing... manatees must be the cutest, most docile things ever and this research could save them a lot of unessecary injuries. Good work Ed and Co.!

  • I love these creatures....

    When I was living in Ft. Myers, I had a house with a canal in the back, i was sitting on the edge of the deck and saw 3 manantees rolling over each other about 10 feet away from me. They are such calm animals. Saw dolphins, and huge fish... so much diverisity. I think peopole who come in contact with these animals dont' really care. The only animals I see here in ohio are deer.. so i think a lot people don't understand why they are great, they only see em on tv

  • don't come in contact*****

  • i can clearly see that, but I just dont see why you guys can't just keep it in the replies. I probably don't know this, but if you reply, does it automatically put the comment on the vid also? I'm sorry for being a noob about this.

  • @pokemonpark42

    yes.

    We were replying to eachother and it goes on the video.

  • then why are you two talking back and forth to each other like this? are you sending a reply? its a simple question, i dont see a reason to thumbs down?

  • @pokemonpark42, If it isn't obvious, be are discussing creation vs evolution.

    And because we can.

  • i have another question. Do you guys keep refreshing a page over and over, waiting for the other to comment, or what? I think its funny you waste your time like this.

  • @pokemonpark42, no darling. Go play with your pokemon now.

  • anyone else unable to get this video to load?

  • :59 is the best.

  • Alright. I understand 'gunsnroses454', he/she is right/13, so be patient. There is a God. And before you pull out all your modern day science that used to say the earth was flat and smoking was healthy, just know there is a God and he is almighty and created science!

    The bible was the first book written, to mock that book ouch, that wouldn't be a place I would want to be.

    God created us, as humans, and every living thing on the planet. We did not evolve, we were created.

  • yayayay sumbody finnaly put it in smart words for the weird sceince peoples!!!!!

  • I dont understand how people can deny that evolution is real when there is no doubt that it is. It happens every day. Think of the flu virus and the AIDs virus. These just happen on a much faster scale. And it doesn't have to be God OR evolution. Perhaps God set evolution in motion. But there is no way any educated person can deny that evolution occurred.

  • i said im in the effin 8th grade cant u read!!!! ok i tired of this stop replying to me god!!!! im educated 9 years no i didint fail kindergarden maybe god did make evalution but i belive in him i dont care one bit if any of u do or not ok gosh

  • @woodlandfairy, yes, because I full see gorillas morphing in humans these days.

    Any educated person would have the common sense to know evolution is a sham + it makes no sense.

    DARWIN, the guy who created that theory admitted that it was a sham just before he died!

  • If you think that's what evolution is, you are quite misinformed. Thanks for proving my point.

    Maybe you should learn about the topics you're debating before trying to talk about them.

  • @woodlandfairy, I actually know that I am educated about this topic. You sound like you are not, and to make such an assumption makes you sound very ignorant.

    Thanks for proving my point.

  • @ pinkpinkpink30

    I've came to the conclusion that you are a troll, sorry, a religious troll. You aren't arguing, you aren't debating, you're just being an ignorant bastard. Aren't you aware that it is a proven fact Evolution takes place and we in-fact did evolve. I'm not saying that to disprove any 'Gods', I'm saying that because it's a fucking fact!

    Also, The Bible wasn't the first book written. I know this might be hard for you to believe, but even older texts have been discovered!

  • @Dan742617000027. oh an ignorant bastard!

    of course I'm arguing/debating/discussing obviously some of us  get a little emotional. I think you are ignorant. Youd burn in court.

    It may be a proven fact that species evolve, but it is not a proven fact that HUMANS have evolved. If it has, everyone would know. Youd hear about it in all media and there would be immense debates and chaos It has NOT been proven which is ironic, they can send man to the moon, perform surgery, but can't prove evolution.

  • Whatever pink, you're just like every other fundie fucktard. All the evidence in the world wouldn't change your mind. To you, 'God' created everything & nothing can be said to make you think otherwise. It's a damn shame that narrow-minded people like you exist. You know I recently heard the phrase, "religion has held us back a thousand years." Now, I don't know about a thousand years but religion definitely has held us back because people like you won't let go of your fairytales.

  • @Dan742617000027, you can say I wont let go of my beliefs but I could also say that you wont open up to other beliefs.

    And its funny when people argue, its so obvious to see that the first one to get off topic and start personally abusing the other, he knows that he lost.

    lol

    Let God be with you.

  • if WE did evovle, do u have proof? (im just curious XD)

  • @ Jack64667

    Why are you asking me for proof when you know there are many websites & other sources of information available to you? Perhaps you want me to make a mistake so you can say, "look, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about!"

    Whatever you believe is fine with me, really it is. But I know that any rational minded person thinks the idea of a so called 'God' creating THE WHOLE UNIVERSE about six thousand years ago is ridiculous. I'm happy I didn't buy into that bullshit.

  • @Dan742617000027, see you don't have proof. Because there is none.

    I've brought it up so many times, but you always brush it off.

    if God didn't create the whole entire universe and everything else thats out there beyond what man has even found, then who did?

    I dare you to say 'it was just always there'.

    lol

  • Look pink. Any proof I could provide would be from websites & books, etc. So why would I start trying to prove anything for this guy when he can go & look for it himself? And for you to say that there is NO proof for Evolution is incredibly ignorant. You should read Dawkins latest book entitled, "The Greatest Show On Earth. The *Evidence* For Evolution." I know religion is unfamiliar with the term evidence, but you should still read it. It's very interesting!

  • @Dan742617000027,

    I have evidence. Not text book evidence, but my evidence is the universe. Life its self is evidence.

    The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause! Not a random and undirected process.

    Its that easy to see.

    You should read Lee Stobel's 'A case for a Creator'.

    At least open your mind to new things.

    I've been proven too many times for my beliefs to differ.

  • hmmm you got a point but i really was just curious and i didnt want to say something like "look, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about!"

  • No worries Jack. =)

  • Evolution has as much scientific proof as the theory of gravity or the Earth being spherical. If you disbelieve in evolution, you must also disbelieve all other established scientific "theories".

  • @Jack64667 do you have proof that we didn't?

  • huh?

  • I meant do you have any proof that we did not evolve?

  • no, but its kinda wierd that we com from monkeys......ill just stick to what i believe in and you stick to what you believe in

  • Fair enough

  • why u even ask that? Obviously! the bible said so! duh!

  • ronaldo

  • that's pretty cool :)

    Hopefully it can be spread to all boats near manatees.

  • OMG lock the brazil

    /watch?v=ZLHfqZoNuYQ

  • Poor sweeties... :(

  • 1:37 wat kind of manatee is that?!

  • look at that cute face 4:23

  • Oh the Huge Manatee.

  • Comment removed

  • Why would I want to know about a fictional character? It's sad and funny to me that people like you believe in The Bible's fairytales & then try to spread the made up nonsense.

    'God' didn't create us, we got here through a slow evolutionary process. Atheism FTW!

  • @Dan742617000027

    oh, so you believe that the universe just went 'BANG' and suddenly there were trees, oceans, animals and air just by coincidence? you think that we were organisms that crawled out of the water and miraculously turned into apes, that gradually morphed into humans?

    wrong

    we did not morph, we were created Evolution does not exist, creation does. An anti-religious person can even see that. Darwin, who invented the theory of evolution admitted that it was a sham just before he died

  • lol understanding of physics/chemistry/biology fail.

    you also seem to lack even basic logic. i might feel bad for you but your ignorance is no doubt self-imposed so it's hard to muster any sympathy.

  • lmfao at what you just said xD

    it didn't went BANG and there were trees and fucking wildlife, it wasn't that easy, it all began with a big explosion, and then after a few MILLION years, life was generated

    Evolution DOES exist dude xD fuck i can't believe what you just said xD

  • @pinkpinkpink30

    So you believe there was something like "SNAP! I SHALL CREATE LAND" and POOF, it was there? The creation of everything took millions of years, it was not something sudden after the Big Bang.

    Many factors were there in the creation and development of the world and universe we know, the fact that you don't understand them gives you no right to act as if the idea was stupid.

    Believe what you want, but let people who differ, simply differ.

  • @Tezk I never said that God said I SHALL CREATE LAND and bom it was there though who knows what it was like. Andi know creation would have taken years

    Also obviously there were factors in the creation and development of the world and universe, more that man would ever know And who said I didnt understand these factors? no one does They were created by God Don't assume I dont understand Finally, for the last part you should probably take your own advice You have holes in your argument my friend

  • @pinkpinkpink30 pink is a fucking retard, shut ur faggot ass up bitch

  • I was actually going to give a more detailed response, but it looks like a few other users have already done that.

    Although, I would like to point out that I never said anything about morphing. It always makes me laugh when someone interprets a statement like, "slow evolutionary process" to mean morphing. And talk about things just going 'bang'. 'God' apparently created everything in six days & you think Evolution is a sham? Seriously LMFAO!

  • @pinkpinkpink30 neither one is fake, science does NOT state the opposite as religion, just think about it, let's say there was a "big bang", even if there was, who made the big bang? God.

    Also remember the Bible is full of metaphors, so where it says "mud from the earth", maybe it refered to something unproccesed, but that doesn't mean it was litterally mud, maybe the monkeys are the mud, so both theories don't state against each other, each one states different things.

  • umm can i ask you a question? WHO CREATED GOD? HUH BITCH? YOU GONNA ANSWER THAT SHIT???

  • @Kknight400 lol i always ask that question xD

  • Actually, The Bible isn't full of metaphors. It is simply a book that was written roughly two thousand years ago by humans who had little to no understanding of the Universe. The Bible has no relevance today & I really want people like you to stop saying that bronze age texts have a place in modern society.

    Common sense tells us that there isn't a 'God'. You can't see, hear, touch, taste or smell any so called 'God' & yet 'God' is supposed to be everywhere?

  • then whered we come from.and if u say monkeys whered the monkeys come from. and if u say chemicals whered they come from. and if u say they were always here then maybe god was always hear. and unless u noe sumbody from 2 thousand years ago how do u noe. if the bible is lying to us then maybe scientist are lying to u. dont call me dumb cuz im like 13. we have a real old book for proof and sum weird stuff that happens to be here what do u have sept a bunch smart dudes and a science book?

  • What Kknight400 said . . . Lol!

  • nope idk who made god. who made who made god. U MADE GOD!

  • "we have a real old book for proof" HAHAHA!! Next joke, please!

  • No, I didn't make 'God'. People like you made 'God' up by using your imagination. 'God' is simply what a human imagines him/her/it to be. There isn't anything special about any so called 'God'. All 'Gods' are fantasy, fairytale characters that have no effect in the real world & it's extremely obvious that 'God' isn't necessary in everyday life.Without 'God' the Earth will keep on spinning & life will continue to exist,therefore Mankind doesn't need any 'God' to survive.I love being an atheist.

  • i think gods special XD haha actually i think its sad that ur so technical u cant belive in anything that u dont see haha god is nessesary to me and many others we pray to him everyday i need god i belive in him very much and will NEVER STOP MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA im sorry u let ur brain take over ur heart really i do didnt u even belive in santa when u were little? sereously have sum fun im sorry ur like that gods? i belive in one god? lol ill pray 4 u idc if u belive or not XD

  • Of course you think 'God' is special, he's the ultimate superhero! LMAO! 'God' can apparently do anything and yet he can't even be bothered to give us a reason to believe in him. "Oh, but what about The Bible?" Fuck The Bible, it's a book filled with fairytale stories that make absolutely no sense.

    The reason I said 'Gods' is because there have been many so called 'Gods' throughout history. And do you want to know what they all have in common? No legitimate evidence.

  • noooo jeff hardy is my hero so =P!!!!!! hahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha­hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha­ha the bible says fuck u too XD!!! i liek god and ur not gonna change my mind so why r we fighting lolz? oh and jeff hardys real so bleh!!!!i just luv god and he luvs us too u noe like jesus luvs me this i no cuz tha bible tell meh so so nanananannanana

  • I'm not trying to change your mind. To be honest, it makes no difference to me if you believe in any so called 'God'. I'm just saying that 'God' doesn't do anything in the real world. It is human beings & other living things that have made the Earth what it is today, not some supernatural being that is watching our every move.

    BTW. Jeff Hardy is a wrestler, not a superhero. By superhero, I meant fictional characters that have superpowers, much like the 'God' you speak of. Lol!

  • no jeff hardy can fly XD i belive in heaven do you? i belive in spirts i have a ghost pic of my dad wanna see? do u belive in spirts and heavan? im not sure about the hole athesist thing do u belive in that or do we just dissappear

  • It's getting harder & harder to understand your comments but I'll still respond.

    Jeff Hardy is a great athlete & can do some daredevil moves off the top turnbuckle, but he can't fly. Anyway, he's basically an actor because wrestling is just one big soap opera.

    No I don't believe 'heaven' or 'hell', or any afterlife for that matter. I don't believe in the supernatural like 'Gods', 'ghosts', 'demons', etc. I believe that this is the only life we have & then we die, simple as that.

  • thats really kinda sad im sorry u belive that but i noe my dads not gone forever i have proof haha belive it or not i dont care man this is getting kinda old and we could go on and on about this ok? so ya noe what u belive what u belive and ill belive what i want too ps. jeff hardy is effin awesome!!!!!!!

  • @gunsnroses454 lol! So, there's this part where the bible says "grow and multiply", does that means priests are sinners? and there's that one part where this guy moses orders people to kill each other because of some dumb golden statue, will you kill people bc they follow another religion? AHHahAHhahHAHahH, jesus, you're so naive

  • naive? naw im laid back and dont care bout stuff what does naive mean anyways?

  • Shut up, bitch, and make me a sandwich! :D

  • no!

  • The egyptians have even older writings, is that supposed to mean that we all must bow before Horus and stuff like that?

  • idk i belive in god idk who horus is......... u dont if u dont want to!

  • @gunsnroses454 what? don't you have ancient history lessons where you live? ROFL!

  • yea im in the 8th grade tho and have adhd short attention spand................ so yeppey and no i wont kill 10 commandments .... i belive in god idc if yall dont so i dont wanna argue XD thats why when u said "make me a sandwhich bitch i not cuss and stuff...... im sleepy..... i like god i belive in him soo yea.......they have history not my worst grade but yeppy....not that good either

  • i dont know anything about manatees, What use do they have that is usefull to the earth, why bother saving?

  • "AtomicBacon" What use do YOU have that is usefull to the earth, why bother saving?

  • i didnt take the sweinflue shot so i am a ''virus carrier'' so that the population of the earth halts for a few years :P

  • @AtomicBacon

    It's called biodiversity.

    While I myself don't think we humans need to save every species because let's be honest, 99.99% of every species ever lived has gone extinct. But when humans are the clear cause why a current species is dying out (like whales) I do think it's our responsibility to prevent that negative influence.

  • if the animals cant adapt they are gonna die its that simple (survival of the fittest)

  • With comments like that you make it clear you have no understanding of evolution or nature in general.

    Humans can ruin any environment and *no* creature is able to adapt to drastic changes in just a few decades. Evolution takes time, a lot.

    Now I agree that animals that can't fit in with any human setting are probably doomed in the long run, however humans running over Manatees with propellor boats is not their fault. This basically active killing can be prevented and should.

  • cannibalism is a wee bit extreme..no? Even for the poor kids in Afrika.

  • it's not cannibalism, humans and manatees are a totally different species

  • @Phyrexious evolution isnt real

  • @RLewisH

    Ah, look what we have here, a cocky 20 year old American who thinks he knows better. Finish your damn school first and learn to think for yourself instead of just rambling whatever religion your parents indoctrinated your mind with, then we'll talk again.

  • @Phyrexious

    That's because I do know better, and I'm not 20. My parents aren't that religious, I am though. I'm not cocky either.. Your fucking "I know it all and if it can't be proven it isn't real" mindset is ridiculous.

  • @RLewisH

    Haha, my mindset that demands evidence BEFORE accepting a stupid idea is rediculous? We all require evidence before accepting something or else we would all believe in Santa, bigfoot and what not. The only thing that's different between you and me is that your standard of evidence is so low that you're willing to accept the thoughts that make you happy whereas a critical thinking person would know better.

    Wishful thinking is a powerful thing when your IQ is too low to counter it.

  • @Phyrexious

    My IQ is actually very high. You're an obnoxious person, you put yourself above everybody else, and most likely not very social. I'm going to take a wild guess, which is most likely correct, and say that you didn't have much friends in high school, and play video games all day.

  • @RLewisH

    With so many wrong guesses I'm guessing the party about "your very high IQ" was also an uneducated guess.

  • @Phyrexious

    Thanks for adding to the wrong guess spectrum.

  • Yeah. If we can't adapt to a supervirus that has no emotion and no ability to tell what effects it has on the life around it, we die.

    However, we are human. We have emotion and inhibition. Your ability to just /accept/ fate (sotf) is sad. If you don't think we should try to help them, you are a failure because you lack what should make you human.

    Manatees control plant population (mangroves) which tend to grow wildly in medium-concentration salt water.

    Also they are adorable >.>.

  • NIGGER

  • Long live to the Manatees!!!!

  • aww! i love manatees! they are sooooo adorable :D

  • family guy writers
