I felt pretty lucky to catch these MANATEES<\/a> at Jensen’s Marina this past week. They are so funny to watch and now you’ll know why they call them SEA COWS. They are so slow, have big boulder-like bodies and their little faces kind of look like a cow face…..sort of. \u00a0They aren’t related to the cow, but you won’t guess what animal they are<\/strong> related to…. The elephant! Can you believe it? Enjoy and have a giggle.<\/p>\n\n

PS- Boaters need to be very careful in no-wake zones because manatees can’t get out of the way of the boat propellor quick enough, they move too slowly…hence the scars on their backs.<\/p>\n
