Episode 9: When I get older, I want to be a manatee

All Episodes

March 2, 2021 • 25 mins

Manatees love warm water. So, when the waters in the Gulf of Mexico cool, the gentle, slow-moving mammals swim through several bodies of water to arrive here at Manatee Park in Fort Myers. Guest Laura Carr, Lee County Parks & Recreation specialist, tells us what she's learned about these super-sized vegetarians who can't say no (it's a vertebrae thing) and how it might even be cool to be a manatee.
