Imagine this: You're swimming by yourself in the ocean, when you see a dark shape coming toward you. It gets closer and closer until it finally brushes up against you and…does absolutely nothing. That's the situation this terrified girl found herself in when she encountered one of the sea's gentlest animals: a manatee. These lumpy creatures are about as aggressive as your average potato, but that didn't stop this girl from completely freaking out when she saw one swimming around. How would you react to seeing one of these cute mammals?
Ok, to be fair, this girl might have never seen a manatee before and thought it was some sort of sea monster coming to swallow her whole. In fact, this couldn't be farther from the truth! Manatees have truly earned their nickname of "sea cow" thanks to their docile nature. They've even been known to happily swim with dogs! Personally, I would have loved to have been in her situation. Maybe all this poor girl needs is to spend some time bottle-feeding orphaned manatee calves like this man does. I'm sure that's all she'd need to fall in love with these beautiful animals.
Whether her reaction was genuine or just extra-dramatic for the camera, this girl should save her screams for a more perilous situation. Hopefully she was able to swim away from the friendly manatee before it nuzzled her to death!
