My buddy and i were canoeing through the waters when almost out of nowhere, the manatee did almost the exact same thing. It hit our canoe with its tail, caused huge amount of wake and capsized our canoe. I was utterly dumbfounded by the whole experience. We hadn't seen a manatee all day and seemingly out of nowhere, there it was. It was actually quite horrifying. i just had a similar experience at the canaveral national seashore.

That's like getting attacked by Barney. I've been chased by pissed off elephants, but this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone getting on the bad side of a manatee. Only you... Jesus.

"cool story, hansel" no shit. that’s a killer story. and although i’ve never been bull-rushed by a manatee or other large animal, i can totally relate to the explicit detail with which it’s possible to recant events of this proportion…for me, when stuff like this happens to me, it’s almost always in some kind of slow motion as it’s going down.
