JUPITER, Fla. (WSVN)– A Florida woman experienced a rare moment that she will never forget while paddle boarding in Jupiter.
According to WPTV, Celine Chasteen captured a manatee hanging out on her paddle board, Tuesday.
Chasteen said the manatee was very playful and kept rolling on its back, calling it “the craziest thing ever.”

According to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, it’s illegal to touch manatees. They also took this opportunity to remind the public that if a manatee avoids you, do not chase the sea cow for a closer view.
The video was originally shared on Facebook by WPTV where it has received over a million video views as of Friday afternoon.
