Manatees Keep Warm in Riviera Beach, FL

Post by SETIsLady » 01-26-2011 04:24 PM

Our power company FPL does make sure that our manatees are taken care of. When it gets cold the manatees flock to the power stations for warmth. FPL pumps heat into the water.

Here is some video :)

These gentle endangered sea cows are beautiful and everytime you get to see one at the intracoastal its a treat !
