Fort Lauderdale Beach Manatees

Manatees (sea cows):
The other day I was swimming in Fort Lauderdale beach as I noticed a quite large dark object under water moving very fast. I looked at other swimmers and they were also starring at the same object. I went to the life guard and pointed out the object as he told me that it’s a Manatee. They are harmless. The day before there was about 10 of them in the water playing around.

So, if you happen to see Manatees in the water, do not be alarmed, they are found on our beach sometimes in groups In fact, manatees are listed by the World Conservation Union as vulnerable to extinction, and the current main threat to manatees is being struck with boats or slashed through with propellers.
