In the Manatee Pool

At the Columbus Zoo, Florida manatees live in the manatee pool during their rehabilitations, 

but other animals live there, too.

Lookdown fish are silvery and very thin. Do you see its spine?


When this one turns, you can see how narrow it is:

I think the residents should be trained to clean the glass:


Maybe this southern stingray is trying to clean the glass, but it needs to work above the waterline.


 

Buddy is a hawksbill sea turtle. (Her story)


 

The manatees eat lettuce, and this leaf was positively glowing. I don't know how to capture that in an image, though.

All photos and videos are from January 14.
