ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WSVN) — A Florida woman’s backyard turned into a buffet for a couple of manatees in St. Petersburg.
Sea cows visited a St. Petersburg home for the second day in a row in order to feast on the grass.
Tropical Storm Colin brought rising waters, which allowed them to pull themselves over the sea wall.
Homeowner Nancy Smith posted a video of the animals on Instagram, and it went viral. “Have you ever seen a manatee come up to your yard this close? Never this close. I’ve seen them out here,” she said.
She expects the manatees will be back later Wednesday since the tide is predicted to still be high.
