John Sarkozy took these photos with a
telephoto lens at the Apollo Beach Power Plant Manatee Viewing Center.

It's difficult to tell which manatee is the best looking, so all photos are posted.
These gentle creatures come up close to boats and may have there backs scraped by boat propellers. If you are kayaking near a pod, remember how large they are and try not to frighten them. As always, do not feed wild animals.
