Description

The first manatee rescued in North Carolina was successfully rehabilitated and released in warmer waters at Apollo Beach. The sea cow, named Pamlico, was spotted in two North Carolina rivers following its original sighting in shallow waters back at the end of October. Rescuers saved her as she was affected by low temperatures in the area and an injury from a boat. Crews from SeaWorld, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute and various partners from North Carolina found Pamlico and rescued her in mid-November. She was released at TECO in Apollo Beach, known for its warm waters since it's close to a power plant. A video shows numerous rescuers helping hoist her into her new home. There is also a Manatee Viewing Center there for those wishing to see the friendly giants at that location.
