ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Two men have been sentenced over an online video that shows one man jumping on two manatees.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Orlando reports that 22-year-old Taylor Blake Martin was ordered Wednesday to pay a $3,000 fine, while 22-year-old Seth Andrew Stephenson must pay $2,000. Both men must serve 175 hours of community service. The men pleaded guilty in March to taking or harassing an endangered species.
