A cute video has emerged of a good samaritan giving fresh water to a manatee in Florida, USA.

The video, shot on May 6, shows the girl offering the manatee a pipe so it is able to drink the fresh water.

"It's very common to see manatees in marinas here since they love the fresh water that feed the boats in marinas," she wrote online.

My family and I went to a friends house for a day at the keys in Florida, USA and for our surprised we encounter a manatee very thirsty for fresh water. It's very common to see manatees in marinas here since they love the fresh water that feed the boats in marinas. I took the opportunity to remind them that in Florida is against the law touch any manatee. They get used to the human touch and get hurt by the boats propellers because they can't move as quick as the boat propeller turn on.
