West Indian Manatee!


Wow, this underwater live camera was a cool surprise! This camera dives into Homosassa Springs to open a window into the crystal-clear Florida water where Florida’s most beloved aquatic mammal, the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus), swims with a jubilee of fish through crystal-clear water. The West Indian manatee , also known as the North American manatee, is a large, aquatic mammal native to warm coastal areas of the Caribbean, from the Eastern United States to northern Brazil. Living alone or in herds, it feeds on underwater plants and uses its whiskers to navigate. See the live stream at Homosassa Springs Underwater Manatees.

This is the species number 16 for me.
