Editing Citrus County, Florida (section)

===Fauna===
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service's aerial [[manatee]] surveys, as many as 400 of these unique creatures can be found in Citrus County at one time. This typically occurs only during the coldest months of the year.

Manatees can also be viewed in the underwater observatory at [[Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park]]. Most of the park's residents are injured animals either undergoing rehabilitation for future release to the wild, or will be permanent due to their inability to be released to the wild.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.floridastateparks.org/homosassasprings/default.cfm|title=Florida State Parks|website=www.floridastateparks.org|access-date=March 6, 2009|archive-date=March 1, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301210857/http://www.floridastateparks.org/homosassasprings/default.cfm|url-status=dead}}</ref> The notable exception is Lucifer, an African hippopotamus that had prior movie roles. When a permanent home could not be found for Lucifer, then-Governor [[Lawton Chiles]] named him an "honorary citizen of the state" thus allowing him to remain at the Park.<ref>[http://www.floridaenvironment.com/programs/fe10101.htm Florida Places, Homosassa Springs: Florida Environment Radio] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120015534/http://www.floridaenvironment.com/programs/fe10101.htm |date=November 20, 2008 }}</ref>
