dau. it was the coldest year in 50 years. They can't figure it out. They froze! It's not hard. It was 14 degrees at night for a month. It's still freezing every night in the south. This normally does not happen.
If you rub a manatee's back "which is illegal" they roll over like a dog, and they let you rub their belly. Makes you think they must feel every prop ripping through their back.
One person in this thread mentioned Fukushima ..... did people forget that there was an oilspill that lasted months in the Gulf of mexico in 2010? ....
+Thalia Lemon (Crazythalia) Probably because this is in the crystal river which is miles inland and flows outwards towards the ocean. Florida was hardly affected at all by the spill to begin with, but inland freshwater environments especially haven't changed at all. The primary cause of the manatee deaths in 2013 was actually the cold snap we had.
+Steven Don't worry. The 2013 spike might have been bad due to the cold snap (cold water kills manatees), but 2014 and 2015 have had high birth rates. The numbers will take time to climb back up, but Urfy ain't going extinct just yet ;)
i accidentally hit manatees in my boat all the time. they just seem to pop up out of no where! i hit them more often when i am at idle speed than on a plane. :-(
+Jim Walker Actually power plants help manatees a lot by giving them warm water retreats in the winter. The water run off from nuclear power is 100% safe with the only change being its warm.
+Jim Walker A large cause for the higher number of deaths in 2013 was due to several sudden cold fronts. If the temperature drops too quickly, they don't have enough time to move into warmer water. Unfortunately, if the temperature of the water drops below 70 degrees their organ systems begin to fail very quickly. Despite their size, they have very little insulation (blubber) protecting them.
we are all a part of this earth. Whether we live on land or under it, swim in the water, or fly in the sky we are all a part of this planet. As humans who cause more extinction that any other life on earth, we have a responsibility to make the world the best it can be for all.
+T Youngblood Well if it puts your mind at ease, humans had nothing to do with the spike in manatee death count in 2013. A vast majority of the deaths were due to a cold snap, the worst Florida has had in over half a century. Manatees can die in water colder than the mid 60s' F, and that's what they got hit with. Death from direct human cause, via boat collision, trash, etc. are all at record lows.
Anybody up for a manatee steak? I hear the peduncle is excellent. I would totally try it. Supposed to be like the finest filet mingnon. We should start farming these things.
What's the difference between a naked white woman and a naked black woman? One's on the cover of Playboy and the other is on the cover of National Geographic.
Everyone, young and old, it's important that you get saved from the danger of hell! People of all ages have sinned, and the end result of our sin is hell, yet Jesus shall save anyone that will believe in him alone. Jesus Christ is the son of God (Entirely God and Man) who lived a life without sinning, died on the cross in our place for our sins, was buried, and was revived from the dead. Put your faith in him alone, and he will apply eternal life and forgiveness of sins to you.
Manatees are Such Beautiful Creatures. I Just Hope We Can Find a Way to Keep Them Around
This is what I want to do in life is to find some way to protect these beautiful creatures.
So tragic -, such a wonderfully beautiful tranquill animal
SAVE THE MANATEE! Keep their sanctuaries safe, don't obstruct manatee migration!
Yeah get the one park ranger who actually resembles a manatee.
save the manatees!!!
I want a Manatee! Coolest creature from the sea!

Oh the Humanatees :[
I'm sure the oil spill had nothing to do with it

Uh oh, looks like they bumped into too many glass walls

The toys saying useful thing is a good idea, :)
Funny how nobody is linking this to the BP oil spill....

very sad
No dugong no!!!

Well, I think we can rule out Barney Fife there. His one lone tooth isn't enough to feed off 'em.
WHY WOULD PEOPLE KILL URFS KIND!?!?!?!??!
I guess the Crystal River nuclear power plant being there is just a coincidence.

NO, my people are dying :(
Nanateety Companyo?
Urf! is that u??
Anybody up for a manatee steak? I hear the peduncle is excellent. I would totally try it. Supposed to be like the finest filet mingnon. We should start farming these things.
they have which is why they are almost extinct
Fucking Warwick! WHY YOU DO THIS!?
omg that sadness
Poor manatees, their the warm water cousin of the Walrus you know.
+IchBinJager
Actually they're closer to elephants believe it or not. Walruses are from a different branch of the mammal family tree.
Nice try "sea-cow". JG
Ever had a manatee burger? They're delicious. Kill just one and you can feed everyone in your house for a week.
Urf
i hope the future will be better
Poor manatees :(
I really hope that it's something other than global warming. Because global warming is going to take a long time to reverse. :(
What I got from this. Save the manatees or we can't profit. Therein lies the real issue.
Save the manatees!!!
awww help save the manatee!!!!

Oh the humanity!- I'll see myself out. Also so sick of seeing fukushima bullshit on every nat geo upload.
They're looking to prosecute people as a result of this, for crimes against a manatee...
I'll come with you
Personally I'm sick of how Japan has been spilling radioactive material into the ocean since the disaster and poaching oceanic life.
RIP Manatees. 2 fat 2 furious.
Vote prop 31, Manatee Slim Fast for America.
Save the Manateean Race.
