Thread: Mating Manatees Stop Traffic in Central Florida

MELBOURNE, FL -- A group of manatees in the mood stopped traffic on the Melbourne Causeway.

Florida Fish & Wildlife experts say it's best to leave the manatees alone.

"These manatees attract a lot of attention, a lot of people call them in as sick or injured or dead. They're not. They're fine," said FWC spokesperson Ann Spellman. "However, it does bring a lot of people into one area and a lot of people feel the need to get in the water with them and that's illegal."

Manatee mating season runs through October. Extra patrols are on the causeway to help keep traffic moving and the manatees safe.
