This manatee was drinking the fresh water as it ran off the fish cleaning table. Then he rolled over for a refreshing shower. In the second picture the "fingernails" can be seen on the flippers.

Thanks, Alice. It was really interesting. He would disappear under all of the pelicans waiting for scraps and then pop up again for more water.
