The manatees in Crystal River by Mitchell Wilkinson-Harrison

The south East costal team, known as the Tickle sticks , went snorkeling with the manatees in Crystal River. We saw a lot of manatees in Crystal River. Some of them were 12 to 15 feet long and the manatees can get up to 2,000 pounds. The manatees will sometimes roll over so that you could feel them .They had algae growing on them. Their skin felt like a rock that has algae on it, slippery and slimy. The greatest highlight of the trip was snorkeling with the manatees.
