Manatees, sharks spotted in warm water near Manatee Viewing Center

APOLLO BEACH, Fla. - The manatees are huddled together in the warmer waters outside the TECO Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach and sometimes those who go to watch them can even catch a glimpse of sharks, too.

Manatees head to warmer waters when it gets chilly because they can freeze in waters 68 degrees and below.
