It is late fall when most manatee first arrive and the type of algae growing on them can give clues as to where these individuals spent the summer. Horizontal orientation with mixing freshwater that turns aqua. Three Sisters Springs, Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, Kings Bay, Crystal River, Citrus County, Florida USA.
