What a sad way to go.  Seems like curiosity got the better of him.

RIP Snooty.  http://nbc4i.com/2017/07/23/snooty-worlds-oldest-known-manatee-dies-one-day-after-celebrating-69th-birthday/

Well that'll be handy to drop into a conversation......... maybe when you've had some rum.   LOL

So cool when one of them swims right in front of the camera. I can say I've seen a manatee belly button!  :>

Wow, 69? That's amazing...

LM ...... I just had a shock ....... reading the link from Trix ...... Snooty is 69 years old!!!!!!!

I've never seen the manatees on here before, how cute! Nice to know they are protected, I heard they get hurt alot in the wild, mainly by boat propellers & such. Nature's imagination is amazing, what strange and beautiful creatures.

Two of them!

I could watch them for hours, they're adorable! I hope they're happy where they are.

First time I've seen the diver.

I always enjoyed seeing the Manatees in Blue Springs State Park here in Florida. I suppose this one may possibly be getting rehabilitated I guess? 

Also going through the comments it seems like this place has a very nice community to it compared to most websites. 

kyle...keep safe during the storm...we get wicked storms now...very scary!!!!!

Thanks Trix, being hacked at the moment, n0t sure why yet, but I suppose they will damage something to let me know.

Im happy they never bother any of you.

In any case, Im leaving now, got a serious storm outside, that is anough for toningt, all be well, be damned if I let this bother me, bye

now that sounds like the kyle i remember....kyle...they put tidbits of food in the pipes for the critters to nibble on...i'v seen them...

LOL!!!

One last thing, when I came in, the Diver ws cleaning out the Tank, cant imagine people throwing in such things as those pipe,. bet they were trying to harm Snooty. It wasnt just the pipe,, many other items the Diver was picking up.

Shame no one can prosecute the B,,, uh sorry, my opinion is slanted by my simple upbringing, (punch the blackards in the eye might work hahahaha)

Hi Carol and Zed

Carol somewhere i missed your hospitalization kiddo, sorry, Blessing on you sweetie, hope you get better soon

Hey Zed, glad you have thickened your skin some, it seemed quite personal once before to you,  and glad you and the OT staff resolved your issues.

kyle ....all is well with us i hope (though i did blame your comments on meds.)...
