Manatee Statue There's a seemingly random statue of a manatee, those adorable cows of the sea, under some trees next to a hotel on US Hwy 19. The region is known for its "Swim with the Manatees" tours, and the fiberglass statue was apparently once a feature at the local visitors center.
This statue is a good photo op -- at least 30-feet long and well done, with paddle-tail and criss-cross markings. It was named "Bubbles" in a contest. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 02/24/2011]
Bubbles, the Manatee This large manatee replica sits outside the Homosassa Visitors Center. She was named in a local contest. Real manatees can be viewed in the nearby Homosassa State Wildlife Park. [Laura, 10/23/2006]
