Snorkeler takes selfie with manatee

A cool video has emerged of a woman taking a selfie with a manatee in Homosassa Springs, FL, USA.

The footage, shot earlier this year, shows Jane, 37, swimming with her arm around a mother manatee before she pets her and her baby.

"I have always dreamed of swimming with the manatees ever since I was a little girl, and even though I grew up in Florida, I never got to go," she told Newsflare.

"As an early 10 year anniversary trip, my husband helped make that dream come true, and it was beyond amazing!"

"Manatees come to these Florida inlets from December to the end of March usually, so if anyone wants to swim with them, that is the time to go," she added.
