EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Michael Wood, we are transported to the serene Fanning Springs State Park in Florida. The image captures a unique moment as a majestic manatee indulges in an unusual behavior - gnawing on the dock line for reasons unknown. The scene is filled with wildlife wonders as the gentle giant, known as a West Indian Manatee, pulls at the rope with its powerful mouth. Its playful and curious nature shines through as it explores its surroundings underwater. With no people in sight, we witness this vulnerable species thriving in their natural habitat. The vibrant colors of the photograph bring out the beauty of both the manatee and its aquatic environment. Surrounded by freshwater and fish swimming nearby, we are reminded of the delicate balance that exists within our rivers and nature reserves. This image serves as a reminder of how precious these endangered creatures are and highlights their importance to our ecosystem. As herbivores, manatees play a crucial role in maintaining healthy river systems. Wood's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail - from the texture of the rope being pulled to each movement made by this fascinating mammal. It is an extraordinary glimpse into animal behavior that leaves us captivated by nature's wonders once again.
