Of course most people know that Manatees are herbivores, but this turtle apparently doesn't :-) . The turtle is a freshwater turtle called a Cooter. It was hanging out in a saltwater bayou when it saw the Manatees. I don't think it had ever seen a Manatee before so it didn't know if it was a danger or not, best not to take any chances when you're a little turtle.
Manatees are also found in fresh water but primarily live in saltwater.
