Manatee in Salt Springs Run

Make your own slide show at Animoto.

Canoeing in January in Salt Springs Run in the Ocala National Forest, a manatee swam up to our canoe and began rubbing against the bottom to scratch her back. She gently rubbed her back against our canoe and oars. When she was done, she paused to look at us as if to thank us and then swam away.
