Temperatures are dropping during the evening hours, making the Bay Area waters frigid. Colder waters means manatees are looking for a warm spot for the winter.

The folks at SeeThroughCanoe.com met a mother manatee and her nursing calf at Weeki Wachee - a prime are of warm water during the fall and winter months. A manatees mammary glands are located behind its flippers, which can be seen in See Through Canoe's video, where the calf is hanging on under its mom's armpit.

There's also a small group of manatees coming up to the See Through Canoe, and giving a little splash of water through its snout.

From November until about April, there are many Bay Area locations where you can see manatees huddling in warmer waters.
