ORLANDO, Fla. - Three new manatees are being rehabilitated at SeaWorld Orlando.
The theme park company said Tuesday that its Orlando park had received earlier this month a 1,255-pound manatee mother, her young calf and another manatee from Satellite Beach.
Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission believe the 10-foot-2-inch mother was hit by a watercraft. She has air trapped inside her body cavity and is experiencing problems with buoyancy, which could affect her ability to eat and nurse her calf.
