[choclatesaltyballz]

@Samjapa more peaceful and gentle than a butterfly!! i doubt its peaceful when one of these pops off a fart!

[PenguinInc]

This is the most magical thing I've seen in a long time. . . even though I just found out that this isn't the Attenborough from Jurassic Park.

[gp4nut]

[ngataytin]

Arrrgh! It looks so fat i wanna pet it!

[lofassss]

absolutely cute ! =)))))))

[ILoveTeaDogs]

Yes I love manatees and I do what I can to help preserve them. I really wish that people would be more careful when they use boats because they are the number one killer of manatees. I hope that they will continue to be around for years to come, it would be so sad if they died out.

I wonder if they know that they are so cute looking.

[sheffield83]

David Attenborough doesn't need permission, he owns every animal on earth.

[RonjusAndDorus]

bassmasta79 he´s david attenborough. he surely got permission.

[PonytailGoddess]

Aw...they're so cute and peaceful!

[moneyboydenton]

[doglostflorida]

Love manatees - enjoyed this video. thank you.

[choirfreak26]

I love manatees :D

They're like potatoes with tails and faces!

[geekdiggy]

a very charming video. kinda makes you root for them because they're so nice and they don't have to fight and stuff

oh and his head is very active in the first 30 seconds of this video

[3martijns]

Why use obstification? It's actually much simpler - Genesis chapter 1.

[myownyoutubification]

Richard Attenborough is truly an hero. At age 86 he is still producing fantastic films to enlighten us all.

Smell - You Tube would be interesting though.....

[antdude]

And he swam in this video!

[3martijns]

Guess both the Atties are in upper class of the nanny state?

[revskull]

are they edible?? if they're the cow of the sea...then Dugong burgers -must- be fantastic....

[3martijns]

Of course, and they have to be milked twice a day - milk is shipped to Britain.

[YTviewer118]

hahahaha he's out of breath from snorkelling haha

[StuftAnimalLove]

*sings the dugong song* Duuugong, duuugong, it's the cow of the sea-ea-ea! Duuugong, duuuugong, also known as the manatee!

[The69thEye]

[shinviroz]

[OceanFoam]

[Ddyracer]

David Attenborough is blue planet's and planet's earth nartor. great show both. hate how david always twitches when he talks

[tinaturntable]

I love these animals!

[MLeyden91]

I once triped over a sea badger.

[joshisdaboi]

looking @ the picture @ 0:56, those seacows look massive! they're quite big for vegetarians, (but im vegetarian and im also quite tall and well built) :L

[asklepije]

i love sea cows.....:)

[Qulopuaa]

sea cows are a sign of peaceful animal

[joshisdaboi]

i wonder if those things would attack you :S

[bce23w]

They're completely unaggressive. And what would they even attack you _with_?

[joshisdaboi]

if he said they're like elephants, you know, they could charge you or something! glad they're unagressive though ! i wonder where this is filmed :P

[Barbossapasa]

He said florida (creeks).

[joshisdaboi]

oh ok! ty :D

[Kazumaster]

How would that work underwater? :p

[gadadhoon]

a sea cow charging...

lol!

[kingof1990]

attenborough is sooo lucky

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

David can you swim underwater for about 3 seconds up to this point, come up, turn and face the cam and.....action!

[Khamomil]

Hard to pronounce words correctly after you've just taken out the snorkel from your mouth!

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

lol yeah he is totally out of breath all the way through the shoot...I wonder if it was worth all that..I reckon he was just enjoying being there and then realised "oh crap I have to film now" lol

[Khamomil]

Yeah, plus he had water in his mouth. Imagine how he must have sprayed it while talking. Oh! This poor chap: Life is so hard for him! lol.

Why is it that he had to pretend he was speaking from a film studio? Couldn't he have aknowledged his situation, like, blow his nose in his fingers, spit out on the side before speaking? Who would have objected to that? That's more natural.

I know BBC has its conventions and you can't change them overnight. Whaddayathink Filmmakerchap?
