Earlier this week, video of hundreds of manatees huddled up at Three Sisters Springs in the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge Complex went viral. Now, thousands of Facebook users are sharing video recorded by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service volunteer Kathy Lemmer that shows a sea cow at that same spring appearing to climb a tree to munch on some Spanish moss.



The manatee's blubbery snout flaps up and down with each chomp as it attempts to reach higher and higher for a scrumptious snack. At one point, it appears to use its flipper to hoist itself toward the upper branches.



Like their land-dwelling counterparts, sea cows are strict herbivores. Some of their favorite meals include lettuce, seagrass and other marine vegetation.



A visitor services specialist at the refuge told the Tampa Bay Times that the sight was as rare as it was humorous. In his 10 years at the refuge, he's never seen anything like it.
