Adoptions Adopt a manatee: meet Dumpling from Crystal River’s springs
Clear spring water, a whiskery face and the gentlest nudge you have ever felt. Adopt Dumpling and keep a little of Florida’s warm, slow magic with you all year.
Every winter, manatees crowd into Florida’s warm springs, where the water stays comfortable when the Gulf turns cool. Dumpling is our manatee story from Crystal River, a gentle giant who only wants warmth and sea grass.
Warm-springs season: November–March · Live: positions appear as soon as they arrive.
$19.99 a year for one animal, paid once with no auto-renewal. Every extra animal costs less.
