Manatees gather in the warm waters of rivers and estuaries that are away from the cold waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They stay in the warmer waters most of the time during the winter months and only venture out into the Gulf to feed.
They are large creatures measuring up to 10 feet long and weighing close to a ton each. But they're gentle and shy with a casual community cohabitating with all sexes and ages comfortably.
LOL this is a tail shot I managed to get. They aren't fast but the camera has to be ready at all times!

When I lived in FL I'd go to Silver Springs,and you could see hundreds gathered up there.
