This was an extraordinary and touching sight. There are five males of varying sizes mating with one very large female. They moved her closer to the shore's edge to make the mating easier. The males were very gentle with the female and stroking her the whole time. Afterwards all, including the female manatee, seemed very contented as they swam off into the sunset. No Manatees were injured in the process. Long live the Manatee! What a beautiful gentle creature.
i live across the street...about a block over. We've only been here a month and walked out on the jetty for our morning walk and saw three!!! I'm from AR in the sticks, so seeing such a cool mammal was very exciting!!!!
