As reported by the Orlando Sentinel, "A manatee calf, apparently orphaned by its mother, was rescued recently in Daytona Beach and is receiving care at SeaWorld Orlando.
"The female seacow, which is 3 1/2 feet long and 41 pounds, was bought by officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to the Orlando park's rescue and rehabilitation center on July 24. The calf remains in guarded condition, park officials said.
"She was rescued from a canal near the Caribbean Jack's restaurant in Daytona Beach. SeaWorld staff must bottle feed the calf every three hours with specially-designed nutrient-rich baby formula.
"Once she is grown and is eating the normal diet of vegetation, the seacow could be released back into the wild. SeaWorld has rescued 23 manatees and has released 11 this year."
