Manatees weren’t the only ones taking advantage of the warm water flowing from the TECO Power Plant in Apollo Beach, Florida. A massive school of bull sharks could also be seen in drone footage trailing around the marine mammals as the air temperatures around Tampa Bay dipped to below 50 degrees for the first time in seven months.

The warm outflow from the plant into the surrounding canals has long been an attractant for the manatees.
