Just enjoy this manatee moment!🥰 The fish swimming around the manatees face are called Bluegill Sunfish. 🐟 “The bluegill is native in freshwater habitats all over the eastern US. Due to their popularity as a food item, they have been introduced into other environments and can now be found in every US state except Alaska. Bluegills are omnivores and will eat insect larvae, crustaceans, small fish and even algae by using a suction technique to capture their prey.” 🦀 “While there are other sunfi

Us: “Nope — those barnacles will fall off naturally in the freshwater 💧” Barnacles grow on the manatees that primarily live in salt water habitats, such as the gulf or oceans. These gulf-dwelling manatees will travel into our area during colder months to stay warm in the springs as their “normal” habitats will become too cold to reside in. After several days in our freshwater springs the barnacles will die and then fall off of the manatees leaving a circular polka dot pattern on their bodies on

A wonderful wildlife moment! A Manatee positioned to drink fresh water dripping from the dock after a hard rain. This guy was on the Florida Bay (salt) side of the Flamingo Marina in the Everglades. Manatee need fresh water and must travel to a source every two to three weeks. Fortunately the manatees at Flamingo are clever enough to take advantage of what nature offers! #manatee #everglades #florida | oneWildlifer

Manatee Monday 💧 This manatee's graceful movements are sadly an effort to shake off the pesky pleco nibbling algae off its back. These invasive fish, also known as armored catfish, arrived through the aquarium trade and are now found in freshwater across the state. They are often seen swarming manatees, not allowing them to fully relax in the warm water refuges they rely on in colder weather. Plecos are a prime example of how the simple act of releasing an unwanted pet into the wild can impact
