Save The Manatee





Thanks to Jimmy Buffett, I was made aware of the manatee's plight. Yesterday, today I had the opportunity to see up close and personal the large, aquatic manatees at the Cincinnati Zoo. I realize, of course, this post is only loosely tied to music via Jimmy Buffett. But, I highly recommend Cincy Zoo's Manatee Springs exhibit to anyone who has the chance to see it.

The manatee, along with much of Florida's biodiversity, is threatened. This exhibit is a great opportunity to learn more about those threats while seeing the American crocodile and alligators in their natural habitat and viewing the manatee above and below water.
