The Indian River Lagoon has 36 rare and endangered animal species, one of which is the manatee.
It is interesting to note that the manatee is also known as the sea cow.
Over one-third of the nation’s manatee’s population lives in or migrates through the Lagoon.
Stop by and visit these wonderful creatures.
