Simpson— that giant aquatic mammal with the flat, paddle-shaped tails — is swimming out of the chilly Gulf of Mexico waters and into warmer springs and power plant discharge canals. On Tuesday, she floated in the outflow of Tampa Electric's Big Bend Power Station.
"It's like a warm bathtub for her," said an environmental specialist at the power station's manatee viewing center. "They come in here and hang out and loll around."
And by "Power Station" I mean "Dunkin Donuts."
Full story here....or here depending on what type of manatee you want to read about.
