i'm pretty sure that manatees actually love being pet. like I understand why the laws are there to protect them from dumbasses and to keep them from adopting unnatural behaviors, but they are super curious and seem to like touch a lot.

you're allowed to touch them if they make contact with you first, but only with one hand. as soon as you put two hands on the manatee it's considered 'riding' it.

They don't want you to do it because people trying to pet manatees keep hitting them with their boats.

Yeah, same with any marine mammal. Feed and pet them and they get too comfortable around people and their stuff. Like spinning propellers.

Can speak to this from experience. My research was on dolphins in the local rivers. One dolphin got too used to getting handouts and ended up getting run over and sliced up.

Really, those rules about interacting with the wildlife are there for a reason.

If anyone ever wants a fast track to misanthropy just look up some of the stuff people have done to manatees because the poor things don't instinctively fear humans like they should. I won't post examples in the cute thread though.

We have springs where you can swim with manatees in a controlled environment. You’re not allowed to approach or touch them, just let them come to you. They’re generally very gentle and may be curious and friendly. Probably more chill than capybaras.

It occurs to me that all natural parental behavior might be driven by "gently caress I need to stuff these kids' mouths so the neighbors don't murder and eat us."
