On this episode of Breaking Trail, Coyote is diving into the realm of the Manatee to swim alongside the ocean’s most curious marine giant!
Although being one of the most famous and adored creatures on earth, the Florida Manatee is still an endangered species and there is only one place left where humans are permitted to swim with this gentle marine mammal...this place is of course none other than Crystal River, FL.
Boasting a thriving population of Manatee and multiple natural springs with viewing areas, it is Crystal River where Coyote and the Brave Wilderness crew will enter the water in hopes of having that “once in a lifetime” encounter.
So get ready to get aquatic and meet…the Manatee!

manatees are literally the pugs of the ocean
no they aren't "literally" pugs they are manatees
+Burn Feminists calm down
+fat are u serious that's terrible
+zavier Jackson Yup, pugs were bred to have the little squished face- However they're nose has been pushed back so far it's hard for then to breathe, and they have many hip problems due to the breeding as well. All in all, it's very sad.
more like cows
why would anyone want to kill these majestic beauties
well said 👏🏻
just like sharks. a lot of people only use the fins
I would mever hurt an animal do money unless I used the whole thing or I absolutely needed it (as long as its legal at the time)
+Terence Jones We didn't make ourselves slaves, society did. No one chose to always have to be earning money. We'll be slaves to money as long as we have to buy food and housing.
+Terence Joiris that is why money doesnt have worth to me
And here we see the ever friendly, sea potato.
Eli
Eli Ladner O, Yea!
Eli Ladner Lol.
Thats rude cuz my mom is a potato that swims
Eli Ladner Nice joke
That moment.... manatee makes contact.... with man *smushes camera*
Draco the cat l
OH THE HUE-MANITEE
omg xD
Draco the cat a
If you imagine what an elephant feels like after dunking it in water that's exactly what a manatee feels like
i almost cried when i saw how social they are with humans. And to think humans take advantage of this to kill them driving them to almost extintion is heartbreaking. I wanna just hug them !!
Thanks for the info man
Same
So sad 😭
I know right so sad😥
I know right! people should reflect on this experience and treat others that way.
They're like giant floating potatoes
Rabbit Potato I love you
Rabbit Potato is this like Animal Planet
indeedy, you are right.
potatoes cant move
Rabbit Potato ii
Sea mammals are so chill. Like they never even try to attack humans. Alot of the time they want to play with us and often they even save people! It's such a pity we kill so many of them.
Ever seen a killer whale? Its literally in the name
@@bigmacsauce1953 They're actually friendly if you pay your respect and stay at a safe distance. I took a selfie with one and it smiled.
I think the leopard seal would beg to differ
@@Anomaly-uz9pr still docile to humans they play rough, but are mostly docile
You’re both right and wrong. They DO attack humans - see orca whale attacks and dolphins raping people - however, I do believe that in regards to wild sea mammals, you are correct. Had we not captured them, they would not have attacked us.
"They gently maneuvered around me," **Proceeds to slap tail into lens**
Lmao
It's essentially a sea cow
Anthony Sanchez that's actually the nickname that people have given them, not joking by the way
Technically the stellar's sea cow was hunted to extinction by the First Nations people of the USA and Canada.
Superbly superior 1232 And the Stellars Sea Cow was huge like 20-30 feet long. it's must've been an incredible animal to see in person
in dutch we call them zeekoeien wich mean seacow
Anthony Sanchez It is that was a nickname lol
Coyote needs a water hat.
Nightmare Gamings lol yesssssss!
I want to hug one
Kaila Nicole so you can't hug one
You can hug one I’ve done it
Not that expensive it’s an amazing opportunity
@XxshadowxX not really i live in florida you see them all the time when the weather changes
Me too
I’m crying I never knew manatees were this social and sweet
peebles0 yup big floating cows, they love lettuce
Mimi floridalolz you mean sea potato
@@snage7220 I would say that but potatoes don't eat other plants... they are just potatoes ....
Your profile picture totally goes with the comment 😂
Yeah, they’re very social individjual shituations
They're like big water dogs
Yes!!!!
Ye I thought that a fat boxer listing
+Morgan James Kenny *floating
oh the humanatee
More like cows. Check out Stellar's Sea Cow, the poor thing was hunted to extinction by the most destructive species on Earth.
OH ME GOOOOOOOOSHHHH THEY'RE ADORABLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cynthia Diep lol
Pls reply it's my day where my crush asked me out😊💞 can I pls get 100 likes plssss👍
Cynthia Diep
They're eyes look like butt holes
haha
68°F = 20° Celsius Just so you know
but thats not that cold tbh especially for water
Good bot
@@cxxcxx9483 Not warm either esp. considering some of the 85ºF water seen in the ocean. In 60º-70º water you'll suffer from exhaustion/lose consciousness in 2-7 hours. Humans run core temps of around 98.6ºF
Slightly Burned Pancakes ha ikr
Thx dude
I am always touched when I see this animal, I feel like crying, don't know why.. They look so innocent and kind-hearted.
I want to swim with one so bad. They're adorable.
+Reptillian bounty hunter ikr
I did
+Creeper RV TheRayGameKing I did
+Reptillian bounty hunter Sameee lol me as a animal
I know!!
I know this video is quite old so you likely won't see this, but I just wanted to extend my gratitude and appreciation for what you do. This is probably the first video I've watched in a long time that made me smile inside and out, and genuinely just feel happy at my core. This also taught me more about manatees and showed me something I want to do one day. I highly respect your genuine love for all creatures. Humans could learn a thing from these manatees lol.
Shut up Braum
If you want him to see it try to get early at a new vid
Growing up in Florida and living along the Indian River, my biggest memories are of manatees. My family had a boat at a local marina and they would always poke their noses out to say hello. We'd spray the hose to give them fresh cold water and they loved it. Couldn't pet them, but they still always hung around. They truly love humans. They are so friendly. My favorite animals 🤍
Omg I just wanna give it a hug 😂
This is not just amazing, but touching! How sad it is to know that most people don't respect animals like you guys do, while intentionally doing irreparable damage to our Mother Earth. Watching you swim, run and/or play with wild creatures in these episodes is absolutely astonishing. Your genuine love and enthusiasm towards them is reflected through your happy demeanour. Getting teary-eyed here! :) Keep up the good work! I hope this channel achieves great success without selling out.
i share absolutely the same feelings
same ;)
Well said! It is very apparent how much he loves and respects all creatures.
Same
I have loved Manatees for years, they are true gentle giants. You should check out Mermaid Melissa's channel. She works for their cause a great deal.
"Hello, two-legger! Would you like to sample the vegetation that is growing on my back? It is very itchy."
XD
Kinda mean but hilarious
"Do you have time to talk about our lord Neptune"
Best Comment ever made my morning!
I also is an adventure
That's a big individual
In a very big situation
I LOVE MANATEES AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sea cows a just big fat sacks of adorable love ❤️!
Adorable ness!!
Yes just yes
@@pheonixedge adorable lucas
Zachary Erwin and muscle
Coyote looks so different with his hat off i almost didn't recognize him in the vid
He looks so naked without it
+Alex Rosprim ikr :O
lol
defnitely
RIP Snooty Also, manatees are one of my favorite animals. I cried when it booped your camera. I wasn't expecting to react like that. I hope they can survive humanity...
Seeing manatees is like that feeling you get when the big floofy puppy chooses to snuggle up against your chest. Such a happy feeling ❤️
This is the first time I've seen coyote without a hat it's so weird
Nicholas Z. Ikr
Nicholas Z. Yep very weirad
Nutchi The Killer Squirrel lol
U get used to it
His head looks like a egg
Manatees no longer endangered as of 2016. On the side of nature, it's a great year.
Cortlen Fischer 9
Doesn't mean anything. They can still be wiped out in less than a year as long as poachers hunt them
@@vkvk7113 you think the glass is half empty don't you
They’re so cute! We swam with them in three sisters spring last weekend but this video has shown us that we must return and do a barrel roll with a manatee in kings spring!
They are the best animals on Earth 😄💕 like... like sea dogs 😍💕💕💕💕
Miranda Flores Yea, like the sea flap- flap and sea doggo
I'm a deep sea diver, and manatees are the nicest and greatest animals ever. I love how they feel, it's like a soft leather
0:30 Camera stops cause Manati eats it
Lol it actually kissed the camera
+Brave Wilderness Thats why I want to swim with them,THEY SEEM SO FRIENDLY!
+Brave Wilderness why'd you cut your hair?
+Bluebird313 What do you mean.
+Bluebird313 he has always had that hair, he just has a hat I think.
I live in south fl, I’ve given full on hugs to manatees in the wild it’s amazing and impossible not to fall in love with them ♥️
I got to hug them when I was little. They were massive compared to me. Literally giant friendly creatures. I wish i got to visit them, I miss those guys. I wonder if they’re still alive.
i like the one with popcorn on it's skin
WolfArtzAndGames ayye!
What is that on his skin??
+Reinhard Ivan Mansibang they're barnacles
it's barnicales
no it's popcorn
they are amazing!
Renovski same😆
Renovski true dat
Renovski there so cute 😊 😁
Renovski I
Renovski. i live in flordia and i went to a spring in a place called jenkins springs a momma and its baby came up to me and i swam with them for 6 hours
LOOK ITS BRETT KEANE!
They are so gentle and lovely!
I've done this. I live in Florida so I have been exposed to the swamps to the beautiful reefs. Swimming with manatee's is incredible. It's a shame though, many manatee's become injured because of careless boaters. :/
i live in florida also
TayTaylorslay manatees not manatee's
TayTaylorslay Oh really? I was actually thinking of going swimming with manatees, but I was a little bit nervous.
TayTaylorslay I live in Florida too and I love manatee's!!!!!
😭
5:08 that guy gave you the hey 👋 back but you left him hanging
Aww,My life though lol
5:17 Holy cow. Quite literally. (If you didn't get it, then the reason behind it is that manatees are also known as sea cows)
Dived with manatee's a lot in my childhood . We used to go see them in crystal river all the time. Friendliest water living animal I've ever been up close and personal with.
Haha they look like croissants
lol
Lol tell that to France
Ahh yes, are you going to finish that CWOSAUNT?!
+Reece Franzel iM dyInG
Boop muffin i aM tOo AgHHhhHhh
It's so strange seeing you without your hat. XP
I was surprised he didn't go diving with it.
+MetricZero lol
I know right
Mary Fergusson manatees avoiding glances
agreed
0:56 I'm glad that the habitat of these peaceful creatures is being protected
This made me deeply happy, like, with a warm heart and peaceful mind … I well remember the times when they seemed to go extinct. Never seen them so close, too. What a wonderful episode, thanks!
Manatees they are so nice
Yes nice
what manatees are cute?
They are soooooo cute!!!
Oblivion_ Fates s
+MelekeASavage they are suuuuuuper cuuuuuuttttttttee!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is something I really want to do in my lifetime. Manatees have been one of my favorite animals since I was young.
Manatees are so adorable! I love them
They are so beautiful and gentle!♡
idk but this made me sad in a good way...
How can you be sad in a good way? That doesn't make much sense
+T.J A.J R.J Backslashinfourth V ill explain its being sad in a good way
I get the same feeling. Its from the nature of the manatee verses the human nature. Manatees are so pure and loving. There wasn't any issues of trust or aggression or territory. Just love for love for which humans have trouble achieving .
+Silver Knight lol what a hypocrite with such hatred for people
steven hafemeister do you know me? to call me a hypocrite you must be able to read my mind? If you're lookin to just throw insults about go ahead i don't feed trolls anymore.
You look so different without your hat lol
Thats what I though! xD
I was thinking the same thing
IKR
+Landon Griffin HE'S....................BOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Landon Griffin HE'S....................BOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Manatees!
I called it!! MANATEES ARE ADORABOE AND SO CHUBBY!!!
Jeez, these animals are gentle to humanatee. Get it?
+Ethienne Ripoll lmao
omg XD
Oh god... I think I love you.
ah i get it XD
Holy sea Cow, I can't believe you just made that joke.
Can you do an episode with a red panda?? That would be so cool
Demised Mortality yeah that would be really cool
Demised Mortality red pandas are actually related to raccoons :D
Berserker Titan yes
I would like that too
Correction: they're not COOL they're CUTE!!!!!
This is one of my favorite Brave Wilderness episodes ever💜
Why did this video bring tears to my eyes 😭 they're such amazing beautiful creatures 💕
Manatees are so adorable, so sweet..I wish I could hug them and play and swim with them!😍
Its rather humbling to know that there are animals out there almost as playful, curious and inquisitive as ourselves, genetically we are so far apart from each other, evolved differently, live eat and breathe differently, but i imagine in all brains capable of thought and curiosity, we aren't that different, always trying ot figure out new ways to do something, explore the world around us, live breed and continue on. We humans aren't that different from all other life on this world. And i'm happily humbled to know that. Like this comment if you agree.
there are lots of playful animals
Actually we are genetically very closely related to manatees...
warmfreeze we are yes!!!😁😁😁😀😀😀
I keep coming back to this video, these big babies really stole my heart
I've lived in Florida for 5 years on the east side right near the beach, and I still haven't seen a Manatee in the wild. This is awesome.
big water doggo
Stop saying "doggo" and "pupper"
I used to swim with manatees a lot, and they're like a sea dog mixed with the appearance of a baked potato. Love them to death.
I Want One There So Cute!
The cow of the sea. And one of my favorites! Such gentle potatoes
its so cute.... im gonna die
Holy sea cow!
No, don't die.😐
Yeah, and the manatee's pretty neat too.
Rei The Merciful! Yeah
You should write a book because the way you narrate your videos has so many feelings and meaning like if you agree
Daniela Ventura you definitely got your wish! 😊
Daniela Ventura he did
Trevor Young it wasn't out when the comment was made
I love Coyote's writing, very eloquent and descriptive
Manatees are like the dekota tribe always open hearted and kind and willing to exept strangers
This is what people don't see about animals.Because they're so innocent and curious while we live with guilt in our hearts.PEOPLE NEED TO STOP KILLING ANIMALS JUST BECAUSE THEYRE NOT AS KIND HEARTED AS THEM.
Melody Jane You must be a vegan...I feel bad for you.
Illinois Native um I'm not I'm a Texan do you know how much meet I eat?Anyway just because I love animals don't mean I need to be vegan
FoxyWaffle Gamer a Texan? 😬
Nah just a few are like this, anything in Australia will probably kill you
Unfortunately, as long as there are humans we will destroy everything around us. It is inevitable. If you want to save them, leave. Of course that statement always gets taken as aggression, which is fine I guess. I don't like it, but I'm used to being the bad guy. It doesn''t change the intent.
This channel is extremely high in quality. I thought these were clips off of animal planet or something.. Wow, I really am enjoying these!
+The Ranting Squirrel ` No we are just on youtube :) Thanks for watching!
+Coyote Peterson you have two channels? what!? is it because you have like your normal commenter channel and your youtube channel?
+Coyote Peterson I love your videos
+Coyote Peterson it will be so cool if you were with a real coyote I will just flip out if you did :3
Ugh, I seriously love the background music they use. Kind of music I listen to when studying!
I’ve been kayaking with a clear kayak on The Crystal River. It’s unbelievable.
They are chubby and cute oh my god!!!
Take me.
He used the Pokemon GO app to find a Dewgong. Nice lol
xD
bro, this video is 2015
+Thom Immortal Clouds Catトム不滅の雲猫 He... he was joking...
Yeah, the video being a year old is what makes it outlandish that he used an app to track a fictitious animal to get to the manatees, lmfao.
TrashSplash Tucker M8 im just joking about. No need to take things seriously...
This reminds me I havent played with a manatee in a few years. Might have to go to round island (a local place full of them) to hang out once it warms up 🥰
Omg I love manatees soooooo much!!!! They are my most fav animal in the whole world!!! Where I live in FL there is a park that has them and you can swim with them. Its truly amazing!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
how does a manatee sleep underwater when they need to come up for air? Or how long do they sleep
RenownedEvil Good Question
I believe they sleep at the surface, nose up. But I am not 100%
Fabian Saam no didn't you see them sleeping at the bottom near the beginning of the vidieo
Ben Piatkowski Yes, they were sleeping nose up. The nose touched the surface I think.
RenownedEvil they Sleep using only half their brain one half rests while the other half has a patron to slowly swim up and go for air. just like dolphins sleep
I've done this and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life
Same!
I have found you again c:
Karkat Vantas h
Eric Peterson amazing , im kinda jealous :3
U
I grew up here. It's the most beautiful/peaceful place in the entire world
Swimming with manatees is one of the most incredible things. Manatees are my favorite animal. They’re so beautiful
When he said kings bay I thought of uncharted
Lol
Me too
Yep first thing I could think of. lol
+Austin Collins its a video game series and on the latest one. The fourth one.some missions take place there.
same
I've snorkeled with manatees before. It's something I would recommend to anyone! It's the most amazing thing I've ever done! I snorkeled in Crystal River as well. Manatees are my favorite animal. They're just the sweetest thing ever. The babies play with you by going to the other side of the boat whenever you try to see ten. They squeak for their mommies. Ahhhh, it's so adorable!
What was the biggest Manette you've seen
+Minji Kwon Wow, so happy for you!
Are there sharks in the water
+Natheer Mollagee yes. yes there are.
They are indeed very nice I GOT TO SWIM WITH THEM TOO #floridalife #manateesfeelweird #ispamhashtagsforsomereason #ahashtagiscalledapoundsymbol #imbored
WE MUST SAVE THE MANATEE Vanoss reference 😋
Noice
This was such a beautiful video! Loved the commentary.. got me all teary eyed.
Sometimes I just wanna put my snorkel on and become a sea animal lmao
Lucario vs Snorlax
ikr
Basicarr same
Basicarr who doesn't
10% of these comments are legit questions. The other 90% is OH MY GOD!!!! SO ADORABLE!!!! YOU ARE SO LUCKY!
Lewis Thomson Yeah, so.
I just want to cuddle with them and hug them.they are so 🥰 adorable
Coyote is so descriptive in his videos and story telling he would probs write the best fan fic ever
I swam with manatees last Friday!!!!!! It was awesome!!! One of them chewed on my hair😂😂
Did it hurt
I swam with manatees in crystal river they are so majestic and we came across a baby it is so sad that humans kill these animals when your in the water when they eat you can hear the crunching of the food I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING ON A TOUR AND SWIMMING WITH THEM if u do so plz remember as u are booking your trip remember this is also the habitat of a bull shark but they are very rare around crystal river
Imagine doing barrel rolls with a manatee. There's a mental connection there that's so amazing. Life goals.
My heart has melted
He just swam for 3 hours straight
It's easy to swim for large amounts of time, but not when your in a race or something. He was just practically idling
Nadim Da Man You don't count secen starting off. If he started at 7 and ended at 12:30, it's five and a half since 12.5-7 equals 5.5. Another way to know is 7-8 (1 hour) 8-9(2 hours), so on. You don't count 7 as the first hour because he starts at 7 and goes on to 8, meaning a full hour.
well, if he swam for 5.5 hours straight, he also swam for 3 hours straight.
Nadim Da Man 5 in a half******
That’s 5 and a half hours lol
0:23 when your aunt goes to kiss you because she didn't see you for a long time
