It made me sad to think that a 2-year-old manatee was found floating next to a dock at Eckerd College in Florida. The poor manatee had watercraft and shark attack wounds; I wonder how he lost his mama. Anyway, the good news is that he will be rehabilitated at Zoo Tampa, and I hope he will soon be back swimming happily.
