VERO BEACH, Fla. (WTXL) - Frappuccino the manatee and Taz the green sea turtle were released in the Vero Beach area Thursday.

The two arrived at Miami Seaquarium in January.

Frappuccino was found floating due to a boat strike.

Taz was unable to dive and needed therapy for parasites and liver problems.

The injured animals have healed and completed rehabilitation.

They were released close to where they came from within five minutes from each other.
