Baby Manatee Rescued From Port Everglades

Wildlife officials on Friday rescued a sick baby manatee near Port Everglades.

Experts at the Miami Seaquarium on Key Biscayne are now treating the animal.

FWC workers, along with Broward Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol, were able to safely pull the manatee — dubbed Mr. Bubble — from a channel located behind the port's administration building.

A Port Everglades employee noticed the distressed mammal and immediately contacted FWC.

Last week, another manatee became caught in a life vest along the Intercoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale. 

FWC agents were able to remove the life vest from the animal and the manatee was returned to the water.
