Rare Drone Footage Captures Dolphins Playing Among Huge Swarm Of Manatees

Some remarkable drone footage released from Florida as the Riviera gathered in the water of the beach to see about 170 Manatees. As if this rare sight was not spectacular enough, they also spotted a small pod of dolphins so that as soon as they got on the show they shook among the manatees quite the footage is unusual because manatees rarely seen, especially not in the presence of dolphins because.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission estimates that there are about 7500 manatees left in the wild. They have teamed up several times for a swinger’s team for the seawater equivalent, combining “mating balls” that have created some reach by manatees combining perennial fighter boats seen blocking traffic. Interactions between manatees not heard, but their small population can explain the rarity of these manatee festivals that very few animals were present in the wild (although the somersaulting Dolphin would make a great headline).

In an interview with the Guardian, Mike Heithaus, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University of Arts, Sciences and Education, said: . “The more unique part is that a lot of manatees can be seen from the drones and it’s always great to see dolphins swimming through them.” 

Basing Manatis and their acrobatic companions caught on camera by outdoor adventure agency Sue through Canoe. Rare in the current era, where manatees threatened by shipwrecks and diseases, conservation efforts could be a glimpse of what would happen if environmentally responsible practices were able to increase the number of manatees in wild areas.

“If we had succeeded in rebuilding the manatee population where we live, we would have seen it more often,” Heithaus said. “A glimpse of what we can do with the oceans if we work really hard to restore what they used to do to the oceans. The threat is still there, and the population is where it never was before.”

A disappointing news story earlier this year details the possible fines for the person responsible for the “Trump” etching behind the endangered Florida manatee. As both endangered and slow-moving (easily accessible) animals, Florida manatees are receiving special protection due to their vulnerability. These majestic giants protected under the 1973 U.S. Marine Mammals Protection Act, 1978 U.S. Endangered Species Act, and 1978 Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act, and interference with them will result in heavy fines of up to $100,000.
