Juvenile Manatee that came up to greet her and "booped" her. (S)he was quite interested in my wife and although they were not to approach the animals it approached her.

Juvenile Manatee feeding near the surface. There were quite a few visitors kicking up debris from the floor on her tour limiting the image quality. I did what I could to improve this.

Another direction yet today

The tour group kicked up a lot of bottom debris sorry
