Florida Biscayne National Park Day3
On the final day in Biscayne National Park, I had an amazing experience. I saw manatees!
Manatees are sea mammals, sometimes they are called sea cows. They habitat in the warm sea around Florida and more south. They are vegans.
We asked the canoe renter where manatees are often seen, and canoed from near Visitor center to those frequently spotted places. The person said that manatees are often seen near cannal.
After canoeing around for half an hour, we saw 3 manatees swimming together! They were indeed near the cannal. Two adults and one small kid were swimming together. WOW. They are so cute! They swim very slowly, so it was possible to canoe around manatees for around 10 minutes. Manatees surface for breath, so it was visible from canoe that they were swimming. I didn't bring my camera for this canoeing, so there is no picture, but it is in my memory. So exciting.
After finishing canoeing, we had lunch while observing pelican catching the fish.
Then we headed for the airport. It was a wonderful trip.
