Paddle boarders stand in awe as group of ten manatees swims directly beneath them

Weeki Wachee River paddle boarders watch as  ten manatees swim below them

Paddle-boarding couple Tyler and Lauren were out on the Weeki Wachee river in Florida when the group of manatees approached before swimming underneath them. In footage captured by paddle boarding shop Sup Weeki, the group of mammals, which can reach 13ft long and weigh up to 1,300lbs, come up to inspect the boards, before swimming away downriver. The creatures are endangered, thanks largely to over-hunting by humans, but their numbers are now rebounding thanks to their protected status.
