Maybe some of the florida boys can attest to this story.

While I was fishing the intra coastal while on vacation in south fla. I was up to my waist in the water late one night.

All I could hear was the sound of the water breaking on the shoreline nearby when I looked about 5 feet to my left and saw the massive head of the worlds most stupid and worthless creature on the face of the earth.

MANATEE!!!!

I know it sounds ridiculous but it scared the#$%^&#%& out of me!I was born and raised in the city and I have never seen any thing like it in the wild.

I ran like hell only to be saved by a 9 year old who explained to me what I had just encountered.

Needless to say I felt pretty stupid!

god bless ,and beware of the MANATEE!!!!
