#Manatees
Make some room in the jacuzzi please!

Did you know that Florida manatees cannot tolerate waters below 68° F for extended periods, as cold water can stun and even kill them? Whether natural or man-made, manatees depend on warm waters to survive the coldest days of winter.

I want to take my wife to Florida for the manatees, so I'm preparing to visit a ruined underwater civilization swarming with Nazis in the only way I know how.

Did you know that manatees mammary glands are underneath their pits? They arm pits? They got boobs under they pits? you horney yet?

Pretty unsurprising. I'm sure he just looked at the manatees and thought "Ah it's just like the non-European savage lands to have half human monsters running around. Shame about the whiskers"

Sun is up.

Coffee is made.

And the ever loving manatees are fed.

Good Morning, America!

This fight continues.

main things I miss about living in Florida are the iguanas and the manatees

The PBE Copa identity for tonight is for the New York Voyagers. For this program, they become the Manatíes de Nueva York (New York Manatees) The idea here is to tie in with Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican culture and one of the unique animals that swim in the waters of Puerto Rico are manatees!

I looooove manatees!!!

Manatees and dugongs also make high pitched vocalizations that can sound weirdly human-like sometimes, especially when distressed. That might have contributed something to an association with mermaid lore
November 11, 2025 at 4:14 AM
Manatees have also been mistaken for unidentified monsters in Florida, then “explained” as cryptozoological giant penguin sightings :)

Humans are weird little guys, we get up to a lot of imagining and mistaking (and bullshitting)

That’s how that leap happened! Because the folklore mermaid article did a good job exploring ways the historical accounts resemble animals like dugong.

Which I love, because every time I look at the related manatees at the zoo I get to think “you really don’t look like a mermaid, gotta say”

They say the sailors of old, desperate and lonely during long voyages, wound up confusing manatees (aka the sea cows) for gorgeous mermaids.

Manatees are actually more closely related to tomatoes.

Do manatees get along with alligators ?

Manatees in Jamaica are considered highly endangered, with a small, likely declining population estimated at only 14 to 30 individuals. eDNA studies could assess locations where manatees are difficult to visually identify (e.g., remote areas and/or dark water).
