A sign warns boaters to travel at "idle speed" to avoid harming endangered manatees in Crystal River, Florida, March 9, 2016. At peak spring break season, tourists flock to the warm water springs to swim with manatees, which may soon be downgraded from "endangered" to "threatened." Languid, whiskered and weighing as much as 1,200 pounds (545 kilograms), the bulbous Florida manatees -- a subspecies of the West Indian manatees -- were among the first creatures to be named by the United States as a federally endangered species in 1967, alongside the iconic bald eagle and American alligator.
