Field Notes

Description:

Large and gray with a few propeller scars.

Canals and grassy aquatic areas in the Keys.

We saw five manatees while kayaking in Key Largo. This one looked the youngest and was very friendly. He (?) came right up to us for attention. Luckily he only had a few propeller scars.
