After months of rehabilitation, SeaWorld Orlando recently released Ralston, a Florida manatee, back to the wild!<\/p>\n

Ralston was brought to SeaWorld Orlando by Florida Fish and Wildlife Service after he got severely injured by a crab trap. His left pectoral flipper had to be amputated, but with daily care from SeaWorld\u2019s Animal Team, his health recovered, and he was ready to go back home.<\/p>\n

Ralston was transported by van to the Halifax River in Florida, where his rescue was originally made.<\/p>\n

After months of rehabilitation, Ralston was ready to return to the wild! SeaWorld vets microchipped him so if he finds himself at another rescue facility in the future, the vets there will be able to access all of his veterinary history and information. Photo by SeaWorld Orlando.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
