Our Office Manatee

It’s Friday so I figured  a little brevity is ok. Our office is located right on the bay in downtown Miami and today when I walked downstairs for some coffee, I saw this guy:

One of the wonderful things about Miami is the close access to the bay and the ocean. Right now during “Winter”, the manatees migrate to the warmest water they can find. In this case a marina outside our office. In a few weeks, he will most likely swim out to the wider bay to feed on the sea grass. Manatees are very gentle animals that are unfortunately endangered. Many are injured in boating accidents, since the tend to lie still right under the surface making them very hard to see from a distance.
