I've heard of dolphins and whales on cruise ships, and even more thrilling is diving and dancing with sharks, and holding a manatee or being held by a manatee is indeed rare. The introduction of manatees in children's popular science books is that "when the female manatee breastfeeds her cubs, she often uses two fat pectoral fins to pick up the cubs to expose the sea, so it gives people the illusion in the evening or when the moon is hazy", I don't know what it feels like when she really hugs the manatee.
The Crystal River in Florida, USA, is the densest density of manatees in the world, because manatees are super afraid of cold, look thick and fat, and are actually full of offal under the skin. The water temperature of the Crystal River is kept at around 22 degrees Celsius, especially in the winter, when thousands of manatees migrate here, and some manatees gather at the outlet of the power plant's circulating water to heat up, such as the Tampa power plant. Crystal River is the only place in the United States that offers up-close contact with "mermaids."
For manatees, humans are exotic creatures, and they will perform many tentative behaviors when they first come into contact with them. Hearing-impaired manatees communicate more with their sense of touch and smell, so when an object approaches, they will approach carefully, possibly smelling you, and using their fins to say hello to you. Crystal River Animal Protection Will teach you to greet the manatees in the right posture, and once you have a friendship with them, you can swim happily together.
The journey to the manatee colony requires a slow ride on a large flat-bottomed diving boat, where you will see different signs indicating the speed of the waters. The water is crystal clear and you'll see manatees swimming past the boat from time to time, kings bay is the largest base for manatees, and the Three Sisters Springs here are famous manatee viewing dive sites. Because there are springs, the water here is more translucent. Change into a wetsuit and get ready to go into the water, go to the manatees and touch their rough skin covered with sparse hair, but one little knowledge is that the manatees' fur is super sensitive, and your touch may make them a little itchy.
