This is the heartwarming moment a manatee gently rested its flipper on a rower's oar in Florida.

A kayaker saw the sea cow swimming at the Orange River in Fort Myers on January 5.

Footage shows the gentle creature approaching the canoe and placing its flipper on it.

Moments later, its companion arrived, and both began sniffing the man aboard the watercraft, seemingly curious about their visitor.

Manatees live in shallow coastal areas, where they frequently encounter human activities, which further encourages their curiosity towards approaching boats or people.
