And it still makes me giggle...

Don't get me wrong, I love manatees. They're beautiful, docile, lovely creatures that really make me want to just be a piece of plankton just so I can swim with them and be merry.

And I know that you really can't tell whether this is a manatee or a dugong since you can't see whether its tail is forked or not, and which ever they are their "slow moving, [and] curious nature" is the cause for their diminishing population, since it can make them really vulnerable to boat propellers and fishing gear, AND that really this video is completely exploiting their nature. But this video is hilarious.


And I bet it's that manatee's curious nature thinking "What the fuck are those weirdos looking at?" that propels him/her towards the glass anyway.

Don't cry! I'm sure it didn't hurt, their noses look pretty spongey!
