Believe it or not, this is a Florida manatee, swimming in a river near the warm water outflow from the Florida Power and Light generator building near Fort Myers.

The light colored spot on his (her?) back is a wound from a boat propeller. Every one seems to have at least one similar cut. They don't seem to be smart enough to duck when they hear the roar of an approaching boat ... may be why they are on the endangered species list!
