#manatees — Public Fediverse posts

Spring is here and the Cincinnati Zoo is full of new life, from frolicking bear cubs, to clingy primates, and oh, the not-so-huge manatee!

It's Manatee Appreciation Day; thanks to @stilgherrian and @mycrowgirl for reminding me!

So here's a manatee from the Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota, Florida.

#Florida #manatees

It's #ManateeAppreciationDay! Did you know that #manatees occasionally swim as far north as #CapeCod? Or that half of their day is spent sleeping in the water?🌊 What a life! To learn more about the cows of the #sea, visit https://www.mspca.org/animal_protection/animal-welfare-marine-life/

[Commentary ] Slow-moving and peaceful, manatees are vital to the health of our oceans.

This Manatee Appreciation Day, we honor the dedicated people working to save them.

As a new op-ed by conservationist Omar Vidal argues, whether these giants survive the next 100 years is up to us. https://mongabay.cc/PCo3jf

Manatees touch snouts in the warm waters of the Three Sisters Springs wildlife refuge in Crystal River, Florida, US. More than 400 animals were in the area to escape from the cold gulf waters as manatees can not survive for long periods of time in cold water.

Thousands of manatees and one of the most biodiverse estuaries in the country would be poisoned with 500,000 gallons of industrial wastewater a day if Jeff Bezos gets his way.

This is outrageous. The uber rich shouldn't be allowed to poison our world!

We got to see these mysterious creatures up close and personal. Watching them move seemed to calm my vagus nerve. Peaceful....They are mostly in the rivers, but sometimes they show up at the beach!

My 3 currently favorite animals :

Squirrels: energetic, in synergy with trees, pretty & bushy-tailed

Manatees: soft & round & quiet & gentle & swimming all day!

Donkeys: stubborn, horny, funny, strong

Facebook’s reach is rubbish, and Meta’s politics? 🤮 So, I’ve started sharing Marine Mammal News over on Tumblr. Yes, there are ads, but at least they’re not* shoving targeted political nonsense in your face (*as much).

#RonDeSantis wants to #destroy #Florida, presumably in a fit of #impotent #rage due to his miserable #failure in the #FascistGOP Presidential campaign.
Now he wants to allow #GolfCourses and #Hotels in State #Parks, which will dump huge amounts of fertilizer runoff into protected estuaries.
Say #Goodbye to #Manatees, the #FloridaScrubJay, and #FloridaPanther if #DeSantis gets his way in the 2 more years he has to take out his #humiliation on this state.

#Floridians, contact your state legislators. Demand that they #ImpeachDeSantis now.
