The Odd Pod. Dolphins and a Manatee Swimming and Playing Together

Relax and enjoy a few magical minutes of peace and harmony. Although dolphins and manatees often share the same waters in Florida, in over 30 years of observations I’ve never seen them give each other more than a passing glance before this. Dolphins will often go out of their way to go up to a manatee(s) when they see one, but it is always just for a moment to check it out. As for the manatees, even though they are exceptionally curious and playful, they don’t seem to have any interest at all in dolphins.
