Crystal River Florida Manatee Tours - what better way to see these awesome creatures than with a trip in the beautiful waters the Gentle Giants call home. View the sea cows on a guided adventure in Citrus County which is the only place on the planet where encounters are encouraged or even legal. These awesome creatures are related to the Stealer's sea cow, which was hunted to extinction in 1768. Calves are born weighing in around 60 lbs and can add 700 lbs in their first year. The closest relative to the manatee is the elephant. They have no eyelashes or eyelids like most mammals and muscles around the eyes close and open much like a camera aperture. It's heart beats at a rate of 50 to 60 times per minute. Communication between Mama and baby or friends is by squeaking. Here we have the only growing herd of the endangered mermaids in the world. They make their home here, the Homosassa Springs area of Citrus County. The manatees are an endangered species, so all the better reasons for residents of the community to defend one of God's creatures, an animal with a face that only a mother could love. While visiting why not kayak the back-country of "Old Florida" and observe nature like you've never seen it before. Record breaking catches of tarpon, reds and macks have been snagged in the waters that make up Citrus County. A "shout out" to all of those who love to fish, and a quick reminder to novice fishermen or visitors, please don't throw fishing line into the water. Many species of aquatic life are prone to ingest it which causes the death of many marine mammals every year. It's a truly life changing experience to touch and interact with our community's mascot and there are great advantages when you choose one of the guided trips with a seasoned captain. You also can make you manatee trip a once in a live time experience by staying on a island while you are here in Crystal River.
