Sea World Rescues 16th Manatee In 2010
Sea World sometimes attracts some criticism from animal welfare fanatics because they dare to keep captive some of the world’s most fantastic creatures. Of course, there are arguments back and forth but there can be no denying that everyone who has visited their theme parks has usually learned a great deal more about the animals and species that occupy this planet with us.
Sea World also does a great deal of fantastic work in helping the animal planet and much of it goes unnoticed. One example is what happened this Monday as Sea World’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, the female manatee is resting in Sea World’s Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation where animal care specialists are treating her with antibiotics and provided fluids for nourishment.
This year alone, the Sea World team has rescued 16 manatees and have returned 10 back to the wild. It’s quite possible that these animals wouldn’t have survived but for the positive actions of the wonderful caring people at Sea World.
