It is very touching to observe a mother manatee leading her young calf around the safe warm springs. The wrinkly fat folds of the male calf show his mom has been taking very good care of him. Manatee calves often have wrinkly skin folds. This male calf has lots of wrinkles and he is quite fat! His mom feeds him well.. Florida manatees come to Three Sisters Springs during the cooler months to rest and stay warm. Taken in the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, Kings Bay, Crystal River, Citrus County, Florida USA. Florida manatee, Trichechus manatus latirostris, a subspecies of the West Indian manatee
