Welcome to the Manatee Capital of the World, a.k.a. Florida’s @dsicovercrystalriver region - the only place in the USA you can swim with manatees in the wild on guided eco-tours. 🫧🩵 Each winter, when Gulf waters cool, hundreds of manatees migrate to the spring-fed rivers of Crystal River. The area’s consistently 72-degree waters attract the greatest numbers of manatees from Nov. 15 through March 31. Here are our top recommendations for the perfect weekend itinerary👇 THINGS TO DO -Snorkel tour

The little guy is learning how to eat grass! He doesn’t quite know what to do with it yet, but he knows he wants it 😅 This is our newest calf, “King”. He’s a month old now and called “King” because he is so independent already, acting like he’s the king of the river. He reminds me very much of Simba - he’s gonna be a mighty king 👑 #manatee #underwater #wildlife #animals #nature | Wet Rabbit Kayaks

Yesterday, the SeaWorld Orlando rescue team received a manatee suffering from a boat strike injury. The manatee was brought to us with the help of our partners at ZooTampa at Lowry Park and MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife. Thanks to this collaborative effort, SeaWorld is able to rehab this animal, so that we can return her back to the wild. | SeaWorld
