Manatees Nuzzling Along Japanese Kelp Shelf in along a kelp-fringed shelf in Japan

Manatees Nuzzling Along Japanese Kelp Shelf

by Lars Emerson

Deep indigo water fills the frame where two manatees press their grey, textured bodies together along a kelp-fringed shelf. Late autumn light filters down from the surface, turning suspended particles into glittering dust motes that float in the blue column. The kelp strands hang vertically, their dark fronds swaying gently near the animals' flippers. Soft, reflected light ripples across the manatees' smooth skin, highlighting the wet contours of their heads as they nuzzle. Shadows deepen in the crevices between the kelp and the rocky bottom, showing stillness. A strand of kelp brushes against the left flipper of the leading manatee.
