On April 6, the SeaWorld Orlando Animal Rescue Team returned its eighth manatee back into Florida waters as followers on Twitter followed along. For the first time, SeaWorld live tweeted updates during the successful release via @seaworld_parks.

A recently rescued manatee continues to recover from cold stress at SeaWorld Orlando's Animal Rehabilitation Center.

Despite a recent warm-up, manatees are still feeling the chill from Florida's unseasonably cold and extended winter. SeaWorld Orlando's Animal Rescue Team rescued a young female manatee suffering from cold stress on March 9. This was the park's 11th cold-stress related manatee rescue this year. The approximately five-foot-long sea cow was rescued from a canal near Satellite Beach, Fla.
