Filed in: Conservation

Animal care experts from Walt Disney World Resort recently assisted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission with the successful release of a 680-pound manatee named Plantaina at Blue Spring State Park, about 50 miles northeast of Walt Disney World Resort. The young female manatee was rehabilitated at The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT, where 24 other manatees have been rehabilitated over the years. (Todd Anderson, Photographer)
