Some beachgoers in South Florida got a little more than they bargained for the other day when a group of manatees swam to the coast for some aquatic fun.
The Florida manatee invasion is starting to go viral after being caught on film and uploaded to YouTube.
The gentle creatures swam right up to the crowded beach even and let swimmers pet them.
It’s still not clear what brought the manatees up to shore, but Marine biologist say they were probably nursing in the shallow coast.
