Manatee sex commonly involves one female with several males. When she’s done she swims away.

Sounds like an affront to God. Better call the sheriff.

Sounds like some swinger parties I’ve heard about in Tampa.

We’ll, those Tampa Swinger had to get the idea from somewhere. I was observing wildlife at a state park in FL, a place I had been going for many years. And one day I was looking to see if I could get some pictures of a manatee or two. Then I saw like 5 of them writhing about together. I started the video going on my camera, and it didn’t take long to realize what I was seeing was manatee sex. It’s The Real Florida™ out there friends.

I can see why people would be confused or concerned after seeing the manatees. The video linked in the article shows a group of several manatees in shallow water, all close together in a big heap of slowly moving indiscernible black rubbery skin. It is absolutely not clear that what’s happening is mating.

Sure but who calls the police about animals just going about their business? Maybe if the manatees were attacking people…
