Generally speaking, manatees do not drink salt water, so they find a source of fresh water to drink any chance they get. Here, a smart manatee approached a dock in Big Coppitt Key, Florida on March 19 and enjoyed fresh water with each passing drop.
The filmer told Newsflare: "It rolled on its back to drink the fresh water. It was amazing."
