Marlins Mermaid & Manatee Tryouts

I was assigned by New Times to cover the Marlins 2011 Mermaid and Manatee Tryouts. First were the Manatees, who are the heavier male counterpart to the beautiful Mermaids. I was surprised to even see one guy do a split! The Mermaid tryout had a little more competition and overall I could say I didn't hate my job. To see more photos check out the slideshow at New Times
