I came across this great photo of two manatees kissing today. Well, the caption says that they’re kissing, but I don’t even know that manatees have lips. The photo was taken at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park, which is just north of Tampa Bay, in Citrus County. We’ve not been there since July of last year, when it was hotter than blazes outside. Now that the weather is cooling down, it’s a great time to go to the park. It’s an even better time to get into the water and swim with the manatees, if you can stand the cold water of the springs! (I think I’d need a wet suit!) You can rent pontoon boats all around the area, and gently navigate your boat toward the springs. The manatees are slow moving and extremely gentle, so if you see any, be respectful and kind. It’s a once in a lifetime experience!
