Florida Girl Freaks Out When Manatee Gets Near Her

|Updated:

A Florida girl apparently didn’t realize that manatees are completely harmless. She also took a selfie stick with her in the water, for some reason. In this video, the mere sight of the large, endangered marine mammal sends the girl, Caroline Winch, into panic mode.

“It was like very large, I was thinking it had teeth,” Winch was quoted by Inside Edition as saying. She added, “I was starting to think it’s a shark’s cousin, it could hurt me, I could die out here, my mom would not see me again, I was very nervous.”
