@@jesseschmidt6910 Thank you for saying this. As tempting as it is, we should never touch them. If they brush up against you on their own, that is find but we should ALWAYS keep our hands to ourselves.
And they're just so unbothered by anything that trying to protect them is *really* hard. They won't *avoid* us and it's often hard to tell one is even *there* until it's too late.
My cousin’s mom lives on a canal in Florida and when they sprayed the hose into the water a manatee would immediately appear and drink and play in the stream. So cute
@Brave Wilderness Where did you find them? I was visiting Florida and was at a thing to swim with manatees, but we could only even find one manatee to swim with. I'm happy you found more though.
It's sad that a lot of people don't understand how we as humans are hurting these animals. They are just gentle giants. This video had me to tears just seeing what all these manatees are having to go through because of us humans.
These Manatee's are so beautiful and sweet. We must protect them from suffering the same fate as they relatives, the Stellar's Sea Cow. These angelic babies are worth it.
I was surfing with a manatee today! it was incredibly friendly. it would swim up to each surfer one by one and say hello. it was an experience of a life time and changed my life.
The first time I've heard of Manatees was back in 2nd grade and always thought of them as such a unique and adorable creature. I'm now a junior in high school and more and more I have seen stories about these loveable giants dying from natural causes and from humans...It's so sad to see what's happening to them and I severely want to do my part to help these animals not disappear forever.
I am so jealous yet also grateful that you shared this experience with us. It's been hard to protect our marine and aquatic species here too (Philippines). Lots of trash still end up in the water.
We can't lose hope in saving these magnificent animals. I personally want to do everything I can to help keep their waters clean, thrive on healthy food grounds, and always swim slow on a boat to visit their homes.
I’ve swam in Crystal River two times now, and have been able to find manatees both times! My absolute favorite experience I’ve ever done, cannot wait to go back!
My great aunt used to work at a wildlife sanctuary type place in Homosassa Springs, FL when I was a little kid in the early 90's and she let me swim w the manatees. They're my favorite animal and it was an awesome memory 🥰❤️
Coyote and his team interacted with all types of animals, starting with the cutest and the deadliest but to my surprise they never interacted with a capybara. I would really like to see him and his team react with these guys!
I've been to Crystal River before and swam with the manatees. It was a very cool experience, and I would love to do an adventure with Brave Wilderness. The education of animals and conservation is very important and that is in these videos. This channel has inspired me to explore and catch animals. So far I have caught many painted turtles, a 4 foot long fox snake and an iguana, plus countless frogs.
Me and my dad took our Scuba Diving Certification in 2008 in Florida and we actually saw a real manatee when we where out diving. It's a really fascinating creature and it so much more awesome to see one in real life.
I had no idea they lived in areas like that, that’s kinda creepy! I thought they lived out in the open ocean. But my god are they so sweet and intelligent! That language and the sound it made to have them all come to you was so incredible and cute! We must protect these majestic beasts at all costs!
Oh I love manatees so much, I wish everyone appreciated them and respected them even if they are not a fan of them. All animal species should have our respect if nothing else
I read the book a while ago and I read the chapter ’Swimming with giants’ or something and I remember hoping that yous would be able to go back, so glad you have been able to see this amazing animals again!
That’s probably one of the best video i’ve ever seen on youtube! This chanel really deserves an oscar for the best,scientific and educational content! Keep going guys ,you are awesome
Thanks, Mark!! This is a wonderful video, from one of my favorite places!!! One of my favorite animals!!! Thanks, again, for the information and conservation message!!! Gator Dave
I think he told all his friends: "check out this weird fish! It gives pets and scratches and belly rub!" I'm so jealous! I wish I could experience that
Coyote if you see this Please continue the Beyond Dinosaurs series It was so good Also epic video I love manatees they are one of my favourite sea mammals
My aunt used to work at homasassa springs in Florida and we would always go see the manatees there so cute and see that many of them in the beginning was beautiful
Who else remembers all the good memories with Coyote Peterson for example the bullet ant, blood worms, and coconut breakfast love you Coyote your a real brave generous kind person and we’ll always remember you.❤️❤️❤️ Thank you guys for making vids thank you for keeping up the channel and help to entertain us, please share this to Coyote if you can.
Awesome video Mark, good job man! Interesting learning about these gently giants, and sad knowing they’re on the endangered species list - There are three manatee species worldwide West Indian, West African and Amazonian where all three are listed as being vulnerable to extinction.. Sad but true fact, this is our doing 😔
No way, I just took my 11 year old son here! The springs were closed off for winter, but we were able to swim with them at a couple open spots; he was totally blown away by them! They’re such an amazing being!
Wow, it is a really beautiful and cute animal. I love it and I love dolphins and whales. They are the most beautiful marine creatures. We must protect them from extinction and hunting by humans. Greetings to you from northern Iraq.
25% have perished in the last 2 years mainly due to starvation from the loss of sea grass. Rescues are out feeding them everyday. I once swam with a pod of manatees in the ocean and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had with a wild animal. These gentle giants are just breathtaking to see up close. I really hope they can survive this. 😢
these awsome magestic creatures are wonderful thank you mark for showing us these marine animals there's only about 1 chance in a life time to see these animals thank you so much mark and coyoteand well se you on a next 1
I hope this opens many eyes and minds, I love animals and it's importsnt thT we protect/conserve the lives of animals because I grew up in the ocean so marine biology has my heart
this made me cry. it really sucks that humans lost way whenever it was, we are supposed to help and look after nature. :C but instead we pollute and then look to just go to space and do it all over again to another planet.

Ok
I do!
have a nice day
I want to help them!! I want to volunteer.
No comment.. I ask for a request on for next episode & no response.
Oh my Gosh, when mark started rubbing its belly I lost it. So freakin adorable.
That one told all the buddies to come over and get belly rubs.
in florida i mean, idk how they are in less populated areas
It's cute, but these are wild animals. Petting them hurts their wild instincts.
@@jesseschmidt6910 Thank you for saying this. As tempting as it is, we should never touch them. If they brush up against you on their own, that is find but we should ALWAYS keep our hands to ourselves.
It’s actually against the law to touch them. Making them comfortable around humans is exactly why they get hit by boats and are killed.
Thanks for drawing attention to the needs of these endangered animals and for sharing your love of nature.
And they're just so unbothered by anything that trying to protect them is *really* hard. They won't *avoid* us and it's often hard to tell one is even *there* until it's too late.
My cousin’s mom lives on a canal in Florida and when they sprayed the hose into the water a manatee would immediately appear and drink and play in the stream. So cute
Manatees are so cute and are trying hard to survive 😢 but meeny are still dying 😢😢😢 they are adorable and let's help these mammals!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
So your aunt?
Manatees being my favorite animals, I've never clicked on a video so fast
Love it! Hope it was worth the click :)

Manatees are so sweet creatures they should always be protected
Never seen these watery guys before! Beautiful creatures!
Oh manatees are the coolest, you should check out some of our others videos with them
@HaydGamer99 Its not the real beluga
They look like curious little kids…. So adorable 🥰

What a fun episode. Thanks for representing us in such a respectful fashion, we're going to need all the help we can get.
That one manatee was telling the others about the belly rubs, for sure! Shout out to Ace on the great editing too, congrats on joining the BW team! +=
The manatee that made the call was probably like: “this one is good at scratching. Good deep scratches and pets.”
Yeah, Idk how he got away with this (maybe he got in trouble afterwards) because you're not allowed to pet Manatees.
They are so cute and sweet! I love how they pretty much shook your hand
Manatees are gentle and they're like the coolest of all. How can you not enjoy seeing these precious and awesome animals.
Wonderful views and scenes. I hope the manatees live long and healthy😄
Thank you so much for the kind words
We can't lose hope in saving these magnificent animals.
I personally want to do everything I can to help keep their waters clean, thrive on healthy food grounds, and always swim slow on a boat to visit their homes.
Literally the most harmless animals on this earth. Beautiful souls!
I’ve swam in Crystal River two times now, and have been able to find manatees both times! My absolute favorite experience I’ve ever done, cannot wait to go back!
the bravest man to interact with animals this closely (nice vids keep it up )
Thank you thank you 🙌

Going to crystal river in a few months as a part of my diver certification.
So looking forward to spending time with these wonderful animals. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this much needed information and footage of our beautiful manatees! ❤
I had no idea they lived in areas like that, that’s kinda creepy! I thought they lived out in the open ocean. But my god are they so sweet and intelligent! That language and the sound it made to have them all come to you was so incredible and cute! We must protect these majestic beasts at all costs!
Lol why is it creepy?
Manatees are my favourite animal. I’ve only seen them one then said THEY ARE THE BEST ANIMALS EVAAAAA
Finally manatees, few years ago I have seen them in key west Florida and now I am refreshing my memories with brave wilderness 👍 thank you 😁
Oh man, so much peace and harmony, I'm dying 😩❤Thank you for the message that we are ought to take care of the innocent animal world.
I just read a book on manatees so this came out at a good time! This creatures are so amazing and I hope one day I can encounter them
Oh I love manatees so much, I wish everyone appreciated them and respected them even if they are not a fan of them. All animal species should have our respect if nothing else
This made me cry! 🥺Those poor water angels
6:22 I think the manatee told its buddies hey this man gives good belly rubs
They're cool laid-back Gentle Giants of the Mammal world. Hopefully there's still a chance of saving them.
I read the book a while ago and I read the chapter ’Swimming with giants’ or something and I remember hoping that yous would be able to go back, so glad you have been able to see this amazing animals again!
That’s probably one of the best video i’ve ever seen on youtube!

Thank you Dave!!
Oh my god. I can't believe brave wilderness is still here. I watched these guys religiously as a kid and it's so nice to know they're still posting.
I think he told all his friends: "check out this weird fish! It gives pets and scratches and belly rub!"
I'm so jealous! I wish I could experience that
Coyote if you see this Please continue the Beyond Dinosaurs series
It was so good
Also epic video I love manatees they are one of my favourite sea mammals
i swam with manatees @ crystal river 2 weeks ago. it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. they are most gentle giants ❤
Manatees are 5th most favourite animal ty for making a video on them
My aunt used to work at homasassa springs in Florida and we would always go see the manatees there so cute and see that many of them in the beginning was beautiful
Manatee's are like: yo hi wanna swim and vibe?
Totally!
That is so beautiful, they knew you were safe after one said so.
Having been there is beautiful. One of those places you’ll never forget just based on scenery and clear water, if not for the manatees.
Mark what if you showed up and it was a buch of HIPPOS INSTEAD LOL
Who else remembers all the good memories with Coyote Peterson for example the bullet ant, blood worms, and coconut breakfast love you Coyote your a real brave generous kind person and we’ll always remember you.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you guys for making vids thank you for keeping up the channel and help to entertain us, please share this to Coyote if you can.

Awesome video Mark, good job man!

Sad but true fact, this is our doing 😔
This was amazing, they are such an interesting and adorable creature!
I swear, manatees are some of the cutest animals to ever exist
Amazing Adeventure Mark! Next time you and the crew are in Florida, we will have to linkup!
I've never seen or heard of them BUT they are soooooo CUTE!!
Such beautiful and sweet creatures. Pure angels living in the water. ❤😇
Loved the interaction between manette and human loved it
100 manatees sounds more like a mystic dream along with everything else only really gives that idea
What an animal! Today I have learned about these species for the first time
No way, I just took my 11 year old son here! The springs were closed off for winter, but we were able to swim with them at a couple open spots; he was totally blown away by them! They’re such an amazing being!
I love manatees!! Thank you for this video - they are adorable!!
Wow, it is a really beautiful and cute animal. I love it and I love dolphins and whales. They are the most beautiful marine creatures. We must protect them from extinction and hunting by humans. Greetings to you from northern Iraq.
25% have perished in the last 2 years mainly due to starvation from the loss of sea grass. Rescues are out feeding them everyday.
I once swam with a pod of manatees in the ocean and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had with a wild animal. These gentle giants are just breathtaking to see up close. I really hope they can survive this. 😢
They so cute and gentle ❤ hope they stay safe and be at normal rate.
Wow this is the reason I’m in school for biology. It’s hard but it will be worth it to protect this
Manatees are incredible 🥺
Manatees are truly smart animals. I feel for them ❤
Manatees are amazing and beautiful animals.
❤❤❤❤❤The Manatees MUST be saved. They ought to shut off boat access for a few years.
Florida needs help helping these wonderful animals. Vote in leadership that will make a difference, if you live in Florida.
these awsome magestic creatures are wonderful thank you mark for showing us these marine animals there's only about 1 chance in a life time to see these animals thank you so much mark and coyoteand well se you on a next 1
What an incredibly blessed encounter you had.
Manatees are so cute! They might not be a normal house pet! But I still love it!

Sounds Poetic or like an Opening Line of a Poem.
Me and my dad loved animals and really liked watching your videos when i was young. You remind me of my late father if that is really weird.
Its been so long since I've seen a brave wilderness video and I'm glad this is my reintroduction
hormones making me cry over how cute they are 😭
I ❤ manatees... I cried when they approached you! I'm gonna go do that...
Great video! Thank you for speaking up for these wonderful beings.
Thank you for watching! Please share the video
I hope this opens many eyes and minds, I love animals and it's importsnt thT we protect/conserve the lives of animals because I grew up in the ocean so marine biology has my heart
they cant starve out these creatures are so special
What a truly magical experience, I love these creatures ❤️
Aren’t you not supposed to pet them? Also I love the way they rub their little fins together like they’re nervous hehe
Hey I live in crystal river and grew up at 3 sisters springs. Amazing to see content in my home town.
It’s such a cool place, much love for the manatee in Crystal River 🙌
Swimming with them would be a dream come true for me! 🥰 I seriously hope that people don't mess the oceans up more because they are such a treasure.
Interesting video Mark & Crew I think some sailors thought they were mermaids 😂🤣 I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
I used to watch this guy for a long time.
you are fortunate to interact with such a beautiful creature
It's so cute when they rub their fins together ❤️
I LOVE manatees they are like a pet I will do anything to save them!
this made me cry. it really sucks that humans lost way whenever it was, we are supposed to help and look after nature. :C but instead we pollute and then look to just go to space and do it all over again to another planet.
I love manatees!! The video shots you got are stunning
The entire vid, I was mentally screaming "no touching!". Did you have special permission or something, because touching them is a HUGE no-no.
This is inaccurate, touching is permitted in Crystal River if you follow the guidelines and posted signage
@@BraveWildernesshey brave Wilderness can you rank your favorite animals?
I love your videos I love to explore new place and specially water . I did last years swum with manatee at crystal river
