@@zcarp8642About 15 minutes for me. But you are correct. People have no idea what we have. Theme parks and the most crowded beaches is all they know.
Very informative and well put together video!! Being from Minnesota I don’t know a whole lot about Manatees so this was very cool to watch. They seem so gentle and harmless
Manatees are amazing! I have seen one here in Pensacola, but that’s it. I have a photo somewhere, it was such an amazing sight! Just found your channel and subscribed, love your videos!
You just made my day! I haven’t been to Florida for about two years and longer than that since I’ve seen manatees! Love this! One of my goals for the future!
Wow, cute manatees and great video!! Hi Chris and gabby !! 💚 Have a good evening. Happy birthday gabby and happy holidays to you everyone!! Sad about the scars 😥
I lived in the USA for 5yrs working with Polo ponies. And each winter we would head down south too West Palm Beach and stay all winter. And we would go and visit the springs and i helped rescue one, but this was back in the early 90s. There is so so much done for these amazing mammals now, and so much more that can be done to protect there environment and them themselves. Be it from banning people from parts of there habitat and special boats which we all know are there biggest killers. Yes you do have alot of people that observe the no wake, and keep the speed down. But of course those that break the law are the ones that are killing them and causing these injuries..
Great video. I've noticed in several of your videos that both of you, when snorkeling, often remove the mouthpieces and just close your mouths. I've never done that snorkeling in the Crystal River or the ocean. Is it just for a better look at your faces during video, or is there another reason?
Hm I believe I saw three manatees at the Miami aquarium and one of them was so so big it couldn’t even swim around in its small circle tank i was so upset.. it didn’t seem healthy either.. broke my heart.. these creatures are so important..
@@FloridasWildest it was sort of bad timing going there, they had a lot of things closed..but most definitely I’ll ask if I ever have the chance to go back over there.. I did ask about their sea turtles.. but thank you again, I forgot they rescued those sea turtles I’m sure many of the animals there are rescued
I live in Weeki Wachee, and we have problems with uneducated visitors to our state touching and harassing our manatees. We are fighting to lower the amount of traffic allowed on the Weeki Wachee river.
