Most of the manatees released were orphans whose mothers died of starvation.
Researchers said they put GPS trackers on the creatures to keep up with them.
The manatees released back into the wild include Asha, Scampi, Ferret, Finch, Artemis, Bianca, Inigo, Lilpeep, Maximoff, Alby, Manhattan, and Swimshady.Experts said the animals’ starvation is being caused by the loss of seagrasses in the Indian River Lagoon, which acts as an important home to the manatee.Manatees have been experiencing an “unusual mortality event” in Florida during the past three years, according to authorities.
