croc and manatee

[bigguy40]

So you think Florida is reefs and fishing. Here are some pics of a croc and manatee that seem to have friended each other. The odd thing is the croc had a 5 ft tarpon in it's mouth the week before.

Re: croc and manatee

Thanks for the posts Bigguy. Great vid. As a native Floridian, it's cool seeing the wildlife in its element. As a matter of fact, my little 5 yr. old nephew got to see a mama manatee with her 2 babies, as well as another pair later in the day on our trip down the Wakulla river last weekend. He's grown up his whole life in a desert (ick), so being on a crystal clear river with critters as big as the boat everywhere kind of blew his mind Manatees must not taste very good?.?. You never hear/see them being attacked or eaten by crocs, gators or much of anything for that matter. Go figure. Thanks again.
