Jerry, a Manatee County Ranger, recently sent us this footage of a male panther at Duette Preserve. Male panthers are known to explore a broader territory, spanning over 200,000 acres, compared to females. The over 22,000 acres of Manatee County's Duette Preserve have become a frequent sighting location for male panthers as they seek out females and additional food sources. What a fantastic illustration of the success of Manatee County preserves! Thanks to Justin Ainslie for the footage! | Manat

Documenting the encounter between Tricky, baby Dot, and Chad (the icky male manatee). Chad was relentless and would not stop chasing them down! Manatees can be a lot more aggressive than what people think. Florida is an incredible place with diverse wildlife! And we are lucky to call this place home. ❤️ 📸: @floridaguidejosh 🛶: @ecoventurefl #babydot #manatee #wildlife #florida #springs | Josh Swander

This is manatee season in Florida! 🫶🏼 Every year, from mid-November to March, these gentle giants migrate to Florida’s warm freshwater springs to escape the colder ocean temperatures. With their slow-moving nature and curious personalities, manatees are incredible to observe in the wild—but it’s important to give them space! If you’re out paddling or swimming in a spring this season, remember: ✅ Keep a respectful distance (no touching or chasing) ✅ Avoid blocking their paths or crowding them ✅

Beachgoers in Florida get startled by a curious Manatee as it sneaks up behind the guy swimming. The guy didn't see it until the person he was with pointed it out to him, and even then he couldn't really see the Manatee until he stood up and looked at it from a higher angle. #nature #beach #wildlife #viral #florida #swimming #animals #vacation #ocean #Outdoors #manatee #tampa #stpete | See Through Canoe

It's Manatee mating season in Florida. As you can see from this video, it's a good idea to give them plenty of room. When you see them together in the shallow waters on our beaches pls stay back and do not approach them.

Manatee Mating Herd Sightings It’s the time of year when manatee mating and calving activity is beginning to increase, and boaters and beachgoers may observe manatee mating herds in shallow, nearshore waters. Mating herds are composed of one female followed by a group of several male manatees. These herds may stay together for hours or even days at a time but are typically not stranded and therefore do not need assistance from humans. Make sure to keep your distance! While we normally think of m

Manatee Mating Herds Manatee mating herds are popping up across the state! Boaters and beachgoers, please make sure to keep your distance! While we normally think of manatees as gentle giants, they are still very large, strong animals that can be quite active while mating. Mating herds are seen in shallow, nearshore waters, and are composed of one female who is pursued by a group of several male manatees. These herds may stay together for hours or even days at a time, but they are typically not

Give Mating Manatees Their Space! It's common to see a mating manatee herd in shallow, nearshore Florida waters during the spring and summer months. If you encounter a herd, it's important to watch from a distance as these large, strong animals are focused on mating. Bystanders that get too close could be seriously injured. In most cases the manatees are not stranded, injured or distressed, and the public should not try to approach or assist the animals in any way. If you are concerned about a m

When you see a “Big Papa” sized manatee, chances are it’s actually a female!🫢 Male manatees are generally smaller than females, as they tend to only reach lengths of up to 9 feet and weigh between 1,200 and 1,800 pounds. In contrast, female manatees can reach 10-13 feet in length and weigh up to 3,000 on average. Holy SeaCow!💙 Scientists reported a female manatee measuring 15 feet long and 3,649 pounds in Florida, and she remains the largest ever recorded!🙌🏻 | Bird's Underwater Dive Center

A friendly Manatee swimming up to people at the beach yesterday in St Pete, Florida. This was a perfect display of what to do when you see a Manatee. They kept their hands to themselves and didn't try to chase it. If they see this post I would love to reward their good behavior by giving them a free clear kayak tour with See Through Adventures in St Pete. I'm the owner of the company that makes the clear kayaks and paddleboards, the See Through Canoe Company, just message me or email me through

Did you know that Florida’s West Indian manatee is one of four species of gentle marine mammals in the sirenian family? Manatees are plant-eaters, spending their days grazing in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. While they may look curious and friendly, it’s essential to admire these gentle giants from a distance—it’s illegal and harmful to touch them. One incredible manatee named Snooty holds the record as the oldest manatee ever recorded, living to be 69 years old! Let’s all do our part to pr
