“If you see this, no you didn’t': A Florida sheriff’s office is urging beachgoers to give manatees some privacy – and to not call the police on their distinctive mating displays
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office posted a video of a group of the sea creatures gathered near the shore last Saturday. “If you see this, no you didn’t,” joked the office in the caption. “We get calls all the time from citizens when they see this, believing the manatees are in distress. We can assure you they are more than fine,” the post goes on. The waters around Florida are home to thousands of manatees, large marine mammals that have lived in the area for millions of years.
“For your safety, watch these mating herds from a distance as the animals are focused on mating and do not heed intruders in their midst.” The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office assured residents in its Facebook post that manatees seen in these gregarious herds are “a-okay.” “So if you see this, there’s no need to call,” they wrote. The sheriff’s office also reminded Floridians that touching or disturbing manatees is both illegal and dangerous.
