"Home of the
Manatee"
West Indian Manatees
are large, gray
aquatic mammals with
bodies that taper to
a flat,
paddle-shaped tail.
They have two
forelimbs, called
flippers, with three
to four nails. Their
head and face are
wrinkled with
whiskers on the
snout. Manatees are
related to the
Stealer's sea cow,
which was hunted to
extinction in 1768.
The average adult
manatee is about
three meters (9.8
feet) long and
weighs between
800-1,200 pounds.
Manatees can grow to
13 ft and weigh as
much as 3000lbs.
Calves are born
weighing in around
40 lbs and can add
700lbs in their
first year.
The only growing
herd of manatees
make their home in
Citrus County. This
area is an amazing
outdoors paradise
during all seasons.
The wonderful
temperatures and
incredible land and
seascapes provide an
ideal place to live
or visit for humans
and manatees! The 72
degree waters
flowing to the
surface from the
Florida Aquifer in
local springs
provide warm homes
for manatees and
humans have begun to
respect these sea
creatures as so
numbers in the local
herd are growing.
There is yet much to
work to be done. We
invite you to come
visit us and
experience the
fantastic feeling
you'll receive when
swimming with the
friendly Manatee.
There's debate over
where the biggest
smile is ... on the
human or the
manatee! Make a
point to visit
Homosassa Springs
Wildlife Park where
there are resident
manatees, Florida
panthers, bears,
flamingos and even a
hippo! Recently lots
of work went into
the state park by
creating a more
natural setting for
the many animals
including a
fantastic snake
exhibit, a new bear
den and features
several shows daily.
There are 2 gift
shops located on
each side of the
park which carry
local artist's work
and souvenirs big
and small. So, what
are you waiting for?
