TAMPA, Fla. — A manatee was rescued in the Big Bend of Florida early last week and transported to Tampa to be rehabilitated.

Manatees eat for almost half of their day, putting away approximately 10 percent of their body weight in plants each and every day. Also known as “sea cows,” manatees are the largest ocean herbivore.

Adult manatees weigh an average of 1,000 pounds and grow 9 to 10 feet long, according to the FWC. They can be found in both saltwater and freshwater in Florida’s rivers, springs and coastal waterways.
