The relationship between a mother manatee and her baby is the strongest social bond created by manatees!💕 A female manatee will carry her calf for around a thirteen month gestation. Females generally give birth to a single calf every two to five years. When her calf is born, it will weigh an average of 60-70 lbs and remain close to her for atleast 2 years. During this time, her calf is learning travel routes for locations of food sources, rest areas, and warm water refuges, like Kings Bay!🌊 Cl

When you see a “Big Papa” sized manatee, chances are it’s actually a female!🫢 Male manatees are generally smaller than females, as they tend to only reach lengths of up to 9 feet and weigh between 1,200 and 1,800 pounds. In contrast, female manatees can reach 10-13 feet in length and weigh up to 3,000 on average. Holy SeaCow!💙 Scientists reported a female manatee measuring 15 feet long and 3,649 pounds in Florida, and she remains the largest ever recorded!🙌🏻 | Bird's Underwater Dive Center

Give Mating Manatees Their Space! It's common to see a mating manatee herd in shallow, nearshore Florida waters during the spring and summer months. If you encounter a herd, it's important to watch from a distance as these large, strong animals are focused on mating. Bystanders that get too close could be seriously injured. In most cases the manatees are not stranded, injured or distressed, and the public should not try to approach or assist the animals in any way. If you are concerned about a m

Manatee cuteness! This sweetie put on a little show while we were kayaking yesterday at Silver Springs State park in Florida. There was still some colorful foliage on the trees and it reflected beautifully on the water. Right now the manatees are being very frisky. They are gentle creatures but when they get down to the essential business of romance they are completely into the groove, It's essential to give them space because they can absolutely flip a paddle craft, Here's some great info from

This is what happens when you’re federally protected, have zero natural predators, and spend your days eating sea grass and bothering snorkelers. Manatees are gentle giants, super curious, and yes… they really will swim up just to say hi.
