SARASOTA (FOX 13) -
A mother manatee and her calf are starting a new journey
thanks in large part to the trainers at Lowry Park Zoo.
They've been at the zoo rehabbing for about two months after
being found in the Sarasota
area with a neurological problem.
Volunteers helped load the manatees up with a crane and
tarp.
"It gives you the feeling you've taken something wrong and
made it right, helped keep the wild wild – keep it the way it's meant to be," Jennifer
Galbraith said.
The mother and her calf were released back in the area where
they were found, and the calf is now a health 425 pounds.
