Guess who was following us on our Dive yesterday! Yes, manatees are found in Puerto Rico. In fact, the Antillean manatee (Trichechus manatus) is endemic to Puerto Rico and is the island’s official mammal. While they are considered endangered, some manatees can be found in various locations around the island, including the eastern and southern parts, and even on the west side, as seen in Rincon. #manatee #manatees #manateeawareness #manateelove #manateepr #manateepuertorico #rincon #rincón #rinconpr #amazing #ilovemamals #seacreatures #seacreature #scubadivingfun #lovesunnydays☀️ #puertoricolove

We have been so lucky and have been seeing Spotted Eagle Rays out at Tres Palmas Reserve so I thought I would highlight them today ❤️. 1. Spotted eagle rays grow to a maximum length of 16.4 feet (5 m), including the tail, and 507 pounds (230 kg). Their wingspan reaches a maximum width of 9.8 feet (3 m) from tip to tip. 2. Spotted eagle rays can be found from the surface to just over 196 feet (60 m) deep. 3. Spotted eagle rays can leap their entire bodies out of the water while swimming close to the surface. 4. Spotted eagle rays have venomous spines on their tails that are used in defense against threats. 5. Spotted eagle rays have plate-like teeth used to crush their preferred prey, including clams, oysters, sea urchins and shrimp. #rays #spottedeagleray #oceananimal #oceananimals #saveouroceans #saveourocean #saveourplanet🌍 #saveourplanet #supporttheocean #sealover #sealife #animals #trespalmas #puertorico #rincon #rincón #rinconpr #rincónpr #beautifulanimals #luckydivers #scubadiver #snorkeling #snorkel #snorkelingadventure
