Manatees

We were surprised to see that San Diego SeaWorld had a manatee exhibit. Injured manatees from Florida are flown to San Diego for rehabilitation. When healthy, they are returned to Florida and the wild. In the lower two pictures you can see the white scars from propellers on one of the manatees. In the middle picture, the scar is in the lower right corner of the picture. It was a massive scar; only a little is shown in the picture. It was awe inspiring to see these incredible creatures float gently through the water like giant balloons.
