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, Sarah, Aarin and Colin who work tirelessly to keep our manatees well fed. Scott and Bill keep 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.
Keeping the tank clean is a constant process. You can assist the crew in upgrading their dive gear by helping them purchase new skins, wet suits, regulators, masks and fins.
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.
