Congrats Margarida, your spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/46419979354/manatees-the-gentle-mammals-of-our-worlds-seas
Nice spotting Margarida and I hope the manatees were already released. =)
Dear Karen, these animals are in a rehabilitation center specifically for manatees, in Itamaracá - Brazil. Hopefully, they'll be realesed into the wild, sooner or later.
Very nice! I've not seen a manatee out of the water before - are these guys in captivity? Welcome to Project Noah Margarida!
