Ever seen a floating potato with flippers? That’s right — we’re talking about the one-and-only Florida Manatee!(Okay, that’s not technically what they look like… but you get the vibe)

These gentle giants are slow-moving, curious, and incredibly peaceful. If Florida had an animal ambassador for chill vibes, manatees would win by a splash.

Meet the Manatee

✅Species: West Indian Manatee
✅Nickname: “Sea Cow” — because they graze on seagrass all day
✅Size: Up to 10–13 feet long, 800–1,200 lbs
✅Speed: A lightning-fast 3–5 mph (okay, maybe not lightning)
✅Favorite Hangouts: Warm springs & coastal waters — especially in winter!

These aquatic marshmallows are actually closely related to elephants, not whales! Their little whiskered snouts and slow, steady movements are absolute chef’s kiss.

Did You Know?

  • Manatees need warm water — anything below ~68°F can be dangerous.
  • They surface for air every 3–5 minutes… or up to 20 minutes when they’re taking a nap!
  • They eat up to 10% of their body weight daily in seagrass. Respect the appetite!

Protect Our Manatees

Florida manatees are a protected species — and they need our help.
If you’re boating, swimming, or enjoying Florida’s waterways:

⚠Watch for “Manatee Zone” signs
⚠Avoid seagrass beds and spring habitats
⚠Never feed or touch wildlife

Let’s keep Florida’s gentle giants safe for generations

Seen a Manatee While Swimming or Boating?

Lucky you! Just remember: look, admire, don’t disturb.
These big babies are curious — but they depend on us to give them space & respect.

A fun one we got to quote from two days ago! 👀💦

By My Pool Repairs • November 21, 2025
This home has been vacant for a little over six months — long enough for the pool water to turn almost black, tadpoles to move in, and the entire equipment setup to be disconnected or removed! We priced out a full equipment overhaul plus an acid wash to get this pool back in shape fast […]

“We may have a rodent problem…” 🐭🍂

By My Pool Repairs • November 21, 2025
This Pentair MasterTemp heater gave us quite the surprise during a service call. What looked like a simple equipment issue turned out to be a full-on leaf-stuffed, critter-made condo hiding inside the cabinet. And while it might make for a funny photo, hidden nests like this can cause: Regular inspections go a long way in […]
