Herds of manatees crowd into Florida spring to stay warm – Video

As many as 500 manatees gather at a Florida spring to keep warm as temperatures in the area drop to 10 degrees Celsius.

Manatees, sea cows, seek warmth when it’s cold,k because they can suffer hypothermia and cold stress and will eventually die if they are in water below 20 C.
