TESTIMONIALS (NOT FISH STORIES)
"What really sold me on the trip was the 'sight-casting'- fishing to fish we
could SEE was exciting."
-Ted Ewald of Waterford, Michigan
MANATEES, THE SLOWEST MAMMAL ON MOSQUITO LAKE
Manatees are massive, gray mammals with tails that are shaped like flat
paddles. They have two flippers with three to 4 nails on each.
hundreds of years back sailors regularly would mistake Manatees for mermaids.
West Indian Manatees are the slowest mammals of Mosquito Lagoon and are one of
the planet's most endangered animals so it is grand to see one.
They eat between 20 and 60 pounds of plants and sea grass every day. They have
surprisingly good eyesight.
we do not know if Manatees essentially need fresh or salt water, but they
appear to like fresh better. They can be discovered in shallow, slow-moving
streams, saltwater bays, canals, and coastal areas, particularly where you
would find sea grass beds or freshwater vegetation.
West Indian Manatees came from the Caribbean. Florida is said to be their
northernmost territory. It became possible for more of them to survive the
winters here after power plants were built in Florida which increase the water
temperatures around them. Manatees also spend their winters in natural springs,
like Blue Springs near Deland, Florida, and they make their paths to the tidal
waterways, including Mosquito Lagoon, for spring, summer and fall.
Manatees will have to come up for a breath about every 4 minutes. When Manatees
come up for air, it may appear like a snort. When they are using a great deal
of energy, they may surface to breathe as often as each 30 seconds, but when
resting, Manatees have been seen to remain submerged for at least twenty mins.
Manatees usually swim about three to 5 miles an hour, but they can swim up to
20 mph in short bursts.
Manatees give birth about each 3 years with gestation periods averaging a year.
Twins are terribly rare.
The West Indian Manatee is related to the West African Manatee, the Amazonian
Manatee, the Dugong, and Steller's Sea Cow, which was hunted to extinction in
1768.
As with wild animal populations, a certain percentage of manatee deaths are
credited to natural causes like cold stress, gastrointestinal illness,
pneumonia, and other sicknesses. Ultimately, loss of habitat and rapidly
declining water quality thanks to the spraying of manure and insecticides are
the most significant threats facing the Manatees today.
