People.com recently posted “The Sexiest Manatees Alive”. You couple that with some great new manatee viewing data, along with my photographs on the VisitCitrus.com site, and a post is in order! I know I said my next post would be about recently arrived manatees, but while I consult with researchers about an unusual behavior I witnessed, here’s some fun manatee buzz!

Honestly, let’s give “Little Boy Blue Manatee” a break here. He was a documented orphan I photographed nursing off at least two different females in 2010! Due to his rotund appearance it was concluded he was adopted and doing great. He’s a boy…, he didn’t stick it out…, he just has a lot down there… and he’s proud of it! Who knew People.com would notice for their “sexy manatee” post? Here’s the actual photograph:

Visit Citrus has also put together an updated website showcasing how to politely observe manatees. Many of my photographs are used.

If you look closely at my split-level photograph of the baby manatee and the red kayak, you see this father’s baby girl sleeping. Tug at my heart strings won’t you! A baby manatee and a sweet baby girl with her father…, isn’t that what Three Sisters Springs is all about? Here is the original photograph:

If that wasn’t enough screenshots and links to keep you busy, here is a screenshot of the magazine app. “Alert Diver”. It’s an excellent publication and looks great on my iPhone 6 plus! You can download my manatee cover from Winter 2014 and my article “Little Orphan Manatee” from Fall 2012.

Ok! Stay busy with all these links and photographs! My next post will surely be about the manatees of recent days.
Best, Carol
