When Mangrove had just opened, I went there for the first time. I was a bit disappointed at the time. I have been there again and now I’m a fan. Apparently it took some time and for me the rest to look better.
I have not shared so many photos in a post before and I have made many more, which sooner or later will also appear on the website. Now I’m sharing to share an impression of Mangrove.
An important part are the manatees. I did not photograph them, but admired them. What is special is that a little one is expected there. You can see them swimming nicely. I don’t find them very photogenic but they are very interesting.
There are also many butterflies, different species of birds and reptiles. I share a picture of the crab. These honor their name and wave to the public. Next time I will spend a lot of time there again.
A minus point: it is very hot. But if you make sure you can undo some layers and only have a t-shirt left, it will be all right.
