Nice spotting Margarida and I hope the manatees were already released. =)

Dear Karen, these animals are in a rehabilitation center specifically for manatees, in Itamaracá - Brazil. Hopefully, they'll be realesed into the wild, sooner or later.

Very nice! I've not seen a manatee out of the water before - are these guys in captivity?
