SeaWorld Rescues 16th Manatee in 2010

On Monday (5/17/2010), SeaWorld's Animal Rescue Team successfully rescued from a canal in Satellite Beach, FL an 8-foot manatee which had most likely been struck by a boat.

Currently, she is resting in our Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation where animal care specialists are treating her with antibiotics and provided fluids for nourishment.

This year alone, SeaWordl's team has rescued 16 manatees and have returned 10 back to the wild.
