    Default Injured manatee


    Looked like a fresh injury.

    Name: IMG_4470.jpg Views: 335 Size: 46.3 KB

    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.

    Sure a good reminder for the need of a kill switch lanyard. Props are some nasty things when they meet flesh.

    Looks like a BassMaster going Mach five ran from one end to the other. Bet that hurts some kind of bad.
    Maybe they will bite this one……

    We can hope like the biologist said that if it is swimming it will be fine

    May seem odd to some but that little creature is sure in need of our prayers for healing. That’s a bad deal.
