Evidently a woman in Florida – of course in Florida – rode a manatee this week, and was captured on camera during her reckless joyride. She later turned herself in.
I have to say, it doesn’t look like she was harming the creature but who knows. Like all marine mammals they are protected which includes “no joyriding” I guess.

And some magic; try it, it really works!
