West Indian manatee mother and baby at Three Sisters Springs, Florida, USA
Our mama manatee and her calf are gliding through the crystal waters of Three Sisters Springs in Florida. We hope these two remind you of a mother’s love. If you call home for Mother’s Day, here’s some trivia you can share to make her proud: in 2017, the Florida manatee was reclassified from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act, a move that acknowledges improvements in manatee populations and habitat. Here in Florida, it’s estimated there about 6,000 manatees today.
