From November through March, Blue Springs is home to the West Indian Manatee as they leave the cold ocean waters for a warmer winter home in the springs with it's constant 72 degree waters.

For those brave enough to attempt the 72 degree springs on a winter day, snorkelers and scuba divers can capture some unique pictures of the West Indian Manatee.
