Visit Mermaid Melissa's Channel
Hey guys, Bill here… Remember not too long ago, I made that video about the mermaid rescue. That’s the one where I met Mermaid Melissa, probably one of the most famous Mermaid Models in the world.
Now if you recall, Mermaid Melissa invited me to go swimming with her in Florida…. and I wasn’t sure. But thanks to you guys and all you comments, I’ve come to believe it’s probably a pretty good idea.. especially right now….
It wasn’t easy to find her, but thanks to my drone, I was able to catch her on camera at a place called The Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. It’s a pretty fantastic place on the west coast of Florida -- where Mermaid Melissa Spends a lot of her time.
Our swim began at a place called 3 Sisters Spring… It’s a fresh water spring that Mermaid Melissa really enjoys…
As it turns out, this place is also the wintering home of lots of Manatees. When the water gets too cold outside the refuge, they come here for the warmer waters…
Manatees are not dangerous - In fact they are quite gentle. The proper way to hang out with them is to not chase them, but rather let them come to you…- as Mermaid Malissa showed me.
Melissa: To visit with manatees you never know what you are going to get - you never know if they are going to want to play with you…
BILL: I’m sure that is true, but as soon as this manatee saw mermaid melissa’s tail, love was in the air and the water…
MELISSA; The manatee was like, what is that? And when they come over, they use their mouth to explore… What are these hands? Are these hands different from the last diver and Bill’s fins, what are they all about? They definitely like to fell and chew and touch things…
BILL: Manatees can grow up to 4 Meters or about 13 feet long, and can weigh as much as 590 kilograms which is roughly 1300 lbs.”
They are thought to have evolved from four-legged land mammals over 60 million years ago. Their closest living relatives are actually elephants!
Mermaid Melissa has a lot more videos on her own Youtube Channel… I’m leaving a link in the description box

BILL AND MELISSA WRAP UP
Alright well that is all the time I have for this video… Looks like we are going to be looking at some whale sharks soon… so stay tuned… and if you made it this far into the video I have a little surprise for you. I have two t-shirts to giveaway… These things are really cool… they come from friends of the crystal river National Wildlife Refuge - which is a volunteer organization that helps protect Manatees and their habitat. Now I have one adult large and one small that are good for kids… so if you want to try you luck to get one of these this is all you have to do…
