A touching scene was recently captured in Miami as a pair of manatees was seen leisurely swimming along the city's shores.
The incident was shared by the Only in Dade account on Instagram, garnering admiration from marine life advocates and enthusiasts.
“A love story in Miami,” noted Only in Dade.
In just two days, the post has received over 12,000 reactions, and most of the comments agree that it features a pair of love-struck manatees.
Sightings of manatees are always warmly welcomed by people, as these animals exude a sense of tenderness and tranquility through their bodies and swimming mannerisms.
Last August, Cuban children spotted a manatee swimming in the Almendares River, under the iron bridge of Havana, and captured beautiful images of the animal.
However, amidst the food crisis on the island, several individuals have expressed concern for the fate of the gentle visitor and have urged local residents not to "eat it."
In 2023, a pair of manatees surprised Cubans passing by the vicinity of the Matanzas viaduct.
The impressive aquatic mammals swam just a short distance from the shore for several hours.
That same year, a huge manatee surprised bathers who were enjoying a refreshing break from the heat at a beach in Miami.
The curious incident took place in the Haulover Intel Beach Park area of Miami Beach.
