    Looked like a fresh injury.



    I called an fwc manatee biologist, sent her pics/videos, and she said if he was swimming he’d likely be fine, that they were doing a rescue by coco so they could not come out.

    I sure hope he makes it.


    I got video too, with the mama.



    UPDATE

    I seen the manatee that was injured again. It's been over a week since I seen him the first time. Looks like he might be fine after the prop strike.

      Glad to see the lil feller healed up. They are such docile and graceful creatures.
