Mother manatee and calf, Crystal River, Florida, United States

Today"s image features a gentle manatee mother and calf gliding through the clear waters of Crystal River, in Florida, United States. With whiskered snouts and round bodies, manatees are calm marine mammals that spend their days grazing on seagrass, a surprisingly delicate existence for such large creatures.
