Move aside spring breakers, these manatees are ready to hit the beach!
Florida sun-worshippers found themselves sharing the water at a Fort
Lauderdale beach with a group of the playful sea cows, who didn’t let
the crowd of humans stop them from frolicking. Caught on tape by
beachgoer Craig Hossack, the small herd of manatees spent what witnesses
say was at least half an hour swimming and splashing each other close
to the shore. Some seemed surprised by the dark shadows moving in the
water and fled for the sand, while others screamed excitedly. Some even
reached down to pet the animals. The manatees, known as gentle animals,
appear playful and friendly, rolling around on top of each other and
splashing onlookers. At one point the group of five seem to tire and
take a rest, calmly lying on each other in the water.
