TAMPA (WFLA) — A pair of manatees that were temporarily relocated to Miami Zoo have returned to SeaWorld, Orlando.
The Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation partnership and Zoo Miami partnered to relocate two young, orphaned female manatees to Zoo Miami on Jan. 15 due to overcrowding issues at SeaWorld, Orlando, as well as other manatee critical care facilities.
