I could not crack this thread if JL is serious or pulling our legs. I think the latter, no?

I may be quite wrong but manatees are strictly protected in the states. I am dubious one can be bought, let alone fed for life unless the keeper is made of money.

No idea how I missed this thread originally , wow that's awesome that you ended up with a long term resident and that pond looks amazing
JL, correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing these photos must have been made at SeaWorld.

Imagine how much one would cost or the trouble someone could be in for actually having one.

You're wrong. I assure you those photos were not made at Sea World. Anyone has been at Sea World in the past or recently can attest to it
