Be the Creature S01E06 · Manatee

Overview

In winter, hot springs draw the endangered Florida manatees up the tidal estuaries and rivers. However, there are almost one million registered boats in Florida and many of them share these same waterways. The Kratts enter the manatee's habitat, swimming with the slow-moving mammals as they evade the deadly oncoming propellers. Chris and Martin gain a fresh perspective from underwater on the life and death encounters faced by these gentle mammals.
