Good job, Florida lady! If you see an orphaned manatee, call someone, okay? This little guy needed help. This was kind of a stubborn baby manatee, though. It didn’t especially want to be picked up, and then it was a little confused about breathing. Babies sometimes, am I right? The little buddy is now at Sea [...]

Manatee Monday: Mother’s Day
Posted in Manatees, tagged Manatee Monday, manatees, nature on May 13, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
Manatee moms and calves are totally tight. If manatees had calendars, they’d probably give their moms a bunch of sea grass for Mother’s Manatee MonDay, because manatee moms are pretty nice. Manatee babies (calves) stay with their moms for one to two years, even after the babies are weaned. They hang out together, and the [...]
Manatee Monday: Sunny day at the beach!

It was 84 degrees yesterday in Portland, Oregon. When that happens, Portlanders grab their dogs and congregate near bodies of water. I don’t have a dog, but I do have a manatee friend, so we headed down to the river for some sun. You probably can’t tell here, but I have a Blazers blanket [...]
Manatee Monday: Baby manatee yawn

I’ve seen a lot of manatee videos, but this one made me yelp at about 30 seconds or so. OMG BABY MANATEE. You’re killing me. I don’t condone the patting of manatees, but most people say it’s fine to give them an open-handed pat with one hand. If the manatee really wants to hang out [...]
Manatee Monday: Earth Day
Posted in Manatees, tagged beautiful babies, Manatee Monday, manatees, nature on April 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
This week’s Manatee Monday also happens to be Earth Day, so we thought we’d bring you a brief environmental message. Manatee enjoys nature, of course – especially eating it. However, we had to have a little environmental lesson for Earth Day, because all he really knew about conservation was “don’t pollute water” and “be [...]
Manatee Monday – Snooty!

We’ve mentioned Snooty before in passing, but this guy really deserves his own Manatee Monday entry. Who’s Snooty? Only the most famous manatee in the world! He’s lived in the Parker Aquarium at the South Florida Museum, and since 1949. Yes, 1949. Snooty is going to be 65 years old in July. Holy crap! He’s the [...]

Manatee Monday: Happy Spring!

I love Spring. Even if it’s a little cold or dreary, spring flowers bring me hope of warm weather to come. Wait, is there someone back there? Hi, Manatee! Don’t eat that, please. ***** Hi, new readers! We usually talk about roller derby here, but Monday is reserved for manatees. Why? Because I [...]
Manatee Monday – Manatees in trouble
Posted in Manatees, tagged Manatee Monday, manatees, nature on March 18, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
Sad news, guys. Record numbers of Florida manatees have died this year due to red algae blooms. 181 manatees have died. If we say there are about 5000 manatees living in the wild (because we googled it and that seemed about right), that means that more than 3% of the population has died. That’s a [...]
