Snooty, as a mature adult male manatee, is eating about eight percent of his body weight or about 80 pounds of greens a day.
The staff at Parker Manatee Aquarium include Sally, Eileen, Aarin, Colin, Sarah and Caitlin who work tirelessly to keep our manatees well fed. Scott keeps the life support system in peak condition. Thanks to each of them.
Handler's Notes Addendum
The handlers at Parker Aquarium have a Wish List.
Special thanks to Oceanic/Aeris for fulfilling our wish for dive gear through their generous donation.
We would also like for the aquarium to reflect all the aquatic and marine areas around Florida. We will be testing new exhibit ideas. We are looking for people who would like to contribute toward the purchase of tanks and filtration.
We want to hear from you! Let us know what kind of new aquatic exhibits you would like to see and experience.
Please email Marilyn Margold or call 941-746-4131 extension 20 for more information.
