Was once snorkelling in a spring and a manatee came up and obviously
wanted to be scratched. We tried to stay away from it but it kept
coming up to us.


Is manatee scratching a common thing?


What is fairly common, is peeople giving them fresh water from a
garden hose. *Manatees really like that and come to expect it from
other people. *They usually lay on their backs and just guzzle it in.

I'd be concerned about attracting them to the neighborhood. *They have
incredibly bad halatosis and if one got killed nearby we'd probably
get swarmed by a new round of lobbying efforts. *People who like
manatees should adopt one for a pet.


That makes sense to me, Wayne..
