Nature in the Canal: Manatees snd Portuguese Man-O-War 02/23/2019

While making breakfast this morning Randy called me outside to see the Portuguese Man-O-War. It had captured a small fish. It’s natures way but still sad to see the fish struggle to get free. Randy looked but the fish was too far gone to survive. While outside we also noticed a large manatee in the canal. Such gentle giants. It seems like we only see them on very hot and calm days

This Man-O-War was a different color than most we have seen

From our side of the canal we thought this was a small manatee. It wasn’t until we got close we could see how big it was.
