The camera shows the mid spring run at Blue Spring State Park, where manatees congregate during the winter months when the river temperature in the adjacent St. John’s River drops below 68 degrees. The spring run is a constant 72 degrees year-round making it a vital warm-water sanctuary for manatees in the winter time and is completely closed-off to people. Any people seen in the footage are researchers with special permits. In addition to manatees, a variety of fish such as gar, channel catfish, armored catfish, mullet, tilapia, pacu and tarpon can be seen, as well as the occasional turtle, cormorant and grebe.

I was in Fort Lauderdale on a dark blue raft. A Manatee glided right under my raft. He then turned around and from behind me his face came out of the water. His nostrils flared as if to smell me and he looked right into my eyes. He was very curious. I had never seen one this close. He looked a lot like a dog to me. For such a huge animal he moved through the water so smoothly.

@@silliaek no one at the dive shop said anything. I held my hand out as the manatee swam by and it used it's flipper to push my hand to it's belly and moved my hand back and forth. It was amazing. Also it was amazing to see it had what looked like our finger nails. The entire experience was spiritual.

49:35 There is an underwater stream??! There appears to be a shallow stream of water flowing over the ground. Is that a spring? Is the spring water a different density than the main body of water?

@cindyhurzeler3885 2 жыл бұрын

There's an underground spring that feeds it. We called it "The Boil" and I was afraid to swim over it. Back then you parked in a field and followed a path through the woods to get there. Best rope swing ever. No boardwalk either.
