Thirsty Manatee

This video was taken June 22, 2008 in New Smyrna Beach.

 

 

The manatee was drinking the water just after the boat owner had washed his boat. He said the manatee shows up each time he washes the boat.

 

 

I've seen many manatees while fishing but have never seen one doing this.

 

 

Enjoy
