Manatees

One of my favorite animals to see whenever visiting Florida is the manatee. This "sea cow" may not have a very active lifestyle but these giant gentle creatures are a magnificent and intriguing endangered species. When visiting Epcot, head to The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Take a ride in a big pink clam shell in search of Nemo. At the end of the ride are the remains of the original attraction, the living seas. The manatees are located in a tank over on the right. I could stay there for hours just looking at these creatures.

Disney takes great care of their animals, unfortunately they alone cannot save the manatees.Manatees are disappearing from the wild at an alarming rate. The Florida manatees are often in danger of being hit by boat propeller blades in the everglades. For more information on saving the manatees please visit www.savethemanatee.org
