He's so interactive, he's 23 00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:25,910 curious, and he just loves being around us.

It's unique to sun bears so he can stick it 36 00:02:01,530 --> 00:02:03,230 like a beehive and get all the honey out. 37 00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:08,169 That's my favorite part. That's when he sits and eats like a person. 38 00:02:09,590 --> 00:02:12,890 Sun bears are known for their kind of a sunburst in the middle of their chest. 39 00:02:13,150 --> 00:02:16,790 Each bear's sunburst is a little bit different so that you can tell them 40 00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:18,450 Donut time! 41 00:02:22,429 --> 00:02:26,010 I love the fact that Casey can just figure anything out. 42 00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:31,970 He figures out super quickly how to get any food item out of all the enrichment 43 00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:32,970 devices we have. 44 00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:34,490 And there we go. 45 00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:42,210 And I just pour everything on my stomach and then eat it. 46 00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:46,130 He is like the perfect example of work smarter, not harder. 47 00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:51,190 Well, I think it's safe to say that he enjoyed his treats. 48 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Yeah.

I know, he's getting so big. 113 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:00,640 I can't believe that he's almost a year old. 114 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,540 So there's a few different purposes of their horns. 115 00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:10,520 The males out in the wild will be able to fight one another for females, and 116 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240 they're also just used to really establish their dominance. 117 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,300 Otis is pretty stinking cute, for sure. 118 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,000 They're also cute, though. 119 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,180 A couple weeks ago, we did notice a very large lump pop up on Otis's side. 120 00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:30,660 Yeah, I saw him the day before, and he looked totally normal to me, and then 121 00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:32,160 of a sudden, overnight, it was there. 122 00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:38,080 We suspect that the lump is some sort of abscess, kind of like a large pimple. 123 00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:40,640 That infection grows, and it kind of just fills up with pus. 124 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Hi, Otis. 125 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,280 How are you feeling? 126 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Hi, handsome man. 127 00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:52,700 Dad here has some pretty sharp horns on him. He could have just kind of come 128 00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:56,260 down on him wrong and accidentally nicked him, or he could have caught 129 00:07:56,260 --> 00:07:57,520 on, like, a branch in the yard. 130 00:07:59,630 --> 00:08:02,190 We immediately started him on some antibiotics. 131 00:08:02,890 --> 00:08:05,210 So we're going to go ahead and give him his last dose. 132 00:08:05,730 --> 00:08:07,170 I might be able to get him right here. 133 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:08,430 Hi, buddy. 134 00:08:08,670 --> 00:08:11,390 I know you want this too.

You got it. 139 00:08:26,830 --> 00:08:28,250 Well, at least it doesn't... 140 00:08:28,510 --> 00:08:32,690 Seem too painful then. I mean, his behavior is still pretty normal. 141 00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:35,809 Yeah, he's been licking it a bit, but that's the only thing that we've seen 142 00:08:35,809 --> 00:08:40,669 it. I really don't want to see him in any pain, so hopefully it will kind of 143 00:08:40,669 --> 00:08:42,990 take care of itself, and if not, we'll have to intervene. 144 00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:50,930 Is he cute? 145 00:08:50,950 --> 00:08:52,830 Yeah.

Like, we do, like, off the line 162 00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:49,390 we can get that immediately. 163 00:09:56,590 --> 00:10:02,830 Right now these wounds are severely deep as I pull the towel off my stomach 164 00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:03,830 thing. 165 00:10:10,130 --> 00:10:14,270 This is bone right there. This is one of the most severe boat strike cases I've 166 00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:15,270 ever seen. 167 00:10:20,190 --> 00:10:23,770 Boat strike manatee is so young, I would guess that she's probably only a few 168 00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:24,770 years old. 169 00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:26,550 These are really nasty. 170 00:10:27,730 --> 00:10:31,010 These wounds are huge, and they're incredibly deep. 171 00:10:32,050 --> 00:10:34,790 A prop on a boat just completely sliced her through. 172 00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:39,750 I'm just splashing a little bit of lidocaine on these lesions. 173 00:10:40,290 --> 00:10:42,230 Yeah, look at all that necrosis in there. 174 00:10:42,450 --> 00:10:44,630 Yeah, I don't think it's fresh at all. 175 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,860 I can feel bone right there, too, and bone there. 176 00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:53,920 I don't see long, I don't feel directly, but, I mean, we're like one cell layer 177 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,600 away from it.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to 241 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,820 resolve it. I mean, when you get a big abscess like that, you just got a 242 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:47,779 It's got to get out of there. 243 00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:48,780 Oh, gosh. 244 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,060 Otis is a young male Nihala. He was born here at the zoo, and we just noticed a 245 00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:57,600 few days ago that there was this lump starting to develop on this side of his 246 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,580 abdomen. We're going to meet with Dr. Lawrence and kind of get a plan together 247 00:15:00,580 --> 00:15:02,900 for how we can get this taken care of for Otis. 248 00:15:03,580 --> 00:15:05,120 Looks like it's ready to rupture. 249 00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:05,939 Oh, yeah. 250 00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:06,940 Looks rock hard. 251 00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:09,460 Medicine hasn't really done all that much. 252 00:15:09,930 --> 00:15:15,690 You know, we all think, I think it's time to move forward and plant it. I 253 00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:19,950 it's an abscess, but of course you really have to get hands on and see what 254 00:15:19,950 --> 00:15:23,390 is. It can't be comfortable to have a big abscess like that underneath your 255 00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:27,450 skin. It gets inflamed, it's probably a little uncomfortable, maybe a little 256 00:15:27,450 --> 00:15:29,230 itchy, so we want to give him some relief. 257 00:15:31,650 --> 00:15:33,690 That's why we've all been fighting about who gets to do this. 258 00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:35,790 We'll let you guys do it. 259 00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:41,470 For vets, you know, some of us fall in a camp where we love rupturing abscesses. 260 00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:44,590 It's super satisfying, and it's something that I actually really like to 261 00:15:45,230 --> 00:15:47,630 It's just going to be so fun and so exciting. 262 00:15:47,830 --> 00:15:48,830 No, you guys weren't with me on this? 263 00:15:49,150 --> 00:15:52,930 The whole pimple popping and abscess popping thing, like, really grosses me 264 00:15:53,250 --> 00:15:56,110 I know that we're doing it for Otis and his health. 265 00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:58,930 I'm just not going to really enjoy the process. 266 00:15:59,870 --> 00:16:04,250 What I'm going to need to do is get access to the area and then lance it and 267 00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:08,290 then just hopefully disruptors. You know, that's my expectation going into 268 00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:11,230 Cool. Well, we'll see you in the morning. 269 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:13,230 Excited. 270 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,640 Sierra is a silver crested cockatoo that lives here at the zoo. 271 00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:34,740 Come on, Sierra. 272 00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:39,020 Cockatoos have a lot of personality. They're known to be one of the loudest 273 00:16:39,020 --> 00:16:41,200 birds, one of the quirkiest birds. 274 00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,980 She was donated to the zoo by U .S. Fish and Wildlife because she was 275 00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:49,900 confiscated. Birds can be taken from the wild and smuggled to other areas to be 276 00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,380 sold in the pet trade, so we believe that was what they were trying to do 277 00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:54,560 this group of cockatoos. 278 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,800 When Sierra came in, she had a broken lower mandible, so her lower beak had a 279 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,280 crack in it that doesn't ever connect. 280 00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:05,099 Good girl. 281 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,520 She needs her beak trimmed regularly because if it keeps growing, she isn't 282 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,520 to eat her food correctly. 283 00:17:13,619 --> 00:17:14,619 Good girl. 284 00:17:15,380 --> 00:17:16,319 How we doing? 285 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:17,319 Good, how are you? 286 00:17:17,339 --> 00:17:18,339 Doing good. 287 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,880 In the past, we used to just manually restrain her and hold her, and she had 288 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,000 seizures whenever that happened. 289 00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:29,330 It's not uncommon for some birds to do that. They get stressed out, she will go 290 00:17:29,330 --> 00:17:32,930 into a seizure. So we just try to keep that stress under control. 291 00:17:33,670 --> 00:17:37,410 We decided that we would train her to put her face into a gas mask. 292 00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:40,770 You want to try then to put that mask on her and see how she does? Yeah, I want 293 00:17:40,770 --> 00:17:41,850 to see if she'll just stick her head in. 294 00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:47,690 And there's a towel over there that once she feels, you know, slow, we can try 295 00:17:47,690 --> 00:17:51,910 to do that. It has been a while since Sierra has done her mask behavior for 296 00:17:51,910 --> 00:17:55,780 anesthesia. So I'm a little nervous. We're crossing our fingers, hoping for 297 00:17:55,780 --> 00:17:56,780 best. 298 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960 Hi. What do you think? 299 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:06,180 Hi.

With Sierra and this training that she has, and the fact that she will 310 00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:39,680 accept the mask and breathe something that doesn't smell good either, it's 311 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,660 amazing. You can see in here, you know, where it is, you know, split in half. 312 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,540 Normally this part will meet this one in here, and unfortunately she damaged it. 313 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,300 She has learned to deal really good. 314 00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:55,060 I mean, she eats well, she does well. 315 00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:59,020 That's why Sierra needs a big trim on a regular basis. 316 00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:01,300 It might bleed a little bit. 317 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,240 Or not. 318 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:20,110 Of course it's better. 319 00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:22,410 I mean, it's just separated in there. 320 00:19:23,870 --> 00:19:24,870 That's crazy. 321 00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:26,290 She looks good otherwise. 322 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:31,110 I'm hoping now that she wakes up like she normally does, no seizures or 323 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:32,910 like that, she should wake up okay. 324 00:19:34,370 --> 00:19:37,070 Sierra surprises me on how well she did. 325 00:19:37,450 --> 00:19:38,790 That made my day today. 326 00:19:40,190 --> 00:19:41,950 Like a Muppet.

How has she been doing since arrival? 390 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:38,250 A little bit better, actually. 391 00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:43,390 So our blow -strike manatee survived through the night, and we actually saw 392 00:23:43,390 --> 00:23:45,370 pretty positive things from her. 393 00:23:45,610 --> 00:23:49,210 She's surfacing well. Her respirations have gone way down. 394 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:50,309 That's excellent. 395 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:51,310 Some small improvements. 396 00:23:51,470 --> 00:23:52,910 No interest in food yet. 397 00:23:56,790 --> 00:24:03,090 I am shocked, but also really happy. I'm really impressed with... 398 00:24:03,450 --> 00:24:05,070 Her ability to kind of resist her. 399 00:24:05,390 --> 00:24:08,430 It doesn't look to me like, oh, I'm crazy painful. It looks like, I don't 400 00:24:08,430 --> 00:24:09,430 to do this. 401 00:24:13,650 --> 00:24:18,970 This is really still too early to say how this is going to go for her, but 402 00:24:18,970 --> 00:24:19,970 is quite astounding. 403 00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:26,510 The ones that we spend hours and hours with and those long nights with, they 404 00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:30,890 definitely have a special place in our hearts. They are super challenging, 405 00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:34,450 but... We just know as a team we're not going to give up on those animals. 406 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:36,910 You know, if they're still pulling through, we're still pulling through. 407 00:24:37,790 --> 00:24:40,730 So right now I'm just doing what's called hydrotherapy. We're just kind of 408 00:24:40,730 --> 00:24:41,890 flushing all the wounds out. 409 00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:48,910 So we were thinking about naming her properly for her propeller wound, and 410 00:24:48,910 --> 00:24:49,910 from Lee County. 411 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000 It's cute. 412 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,840 It's had a lot of names with Lee in it, but I don't know if we've ever done 413 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,360 anything with a propeller. 414 00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:00,760 Lauren, what do you think of the name? 415 00:25:00,980 --> 00:25:04,580 I think the team always comes up with perfect names. 416 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:12,720 These are really tough cases, and it's nice to create some positivity, and I 417 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,060 think we all need that sometimes. 418 00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:19,020 Honey is a really amazing natural. 419 00:25:20,489 --> 00:25:22,730 that actually has antimicrobial function. 420 00:25:23,550 --> 00:25:27,370 It's nice and sticky. Hopefully it'll just kind of coat those wounds and maybe 421 00:25:27,370 --> 00:25:29,970 get a little more contact time when she's in the water. 422 00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:34,210 Wound treatment in aquatic species is really challenging. The minute we put 423 00:25:34,210 --> 00:25:38,550 back in the water, this wound is going to get completely drenched again and the 424 00:25:38,550 --> 00:25:42,030 sponges and all that stuff get wet. But honey's nice and sticky, so my hope is 425 00:25:42,030 --> 00:25:45,510 that it'll hang out just a little bit longer than some of our other front 426 00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:46,510 antiseptics. 427 00:25:47,270 --> 00:25:49,490 probably is still a highly critical case. 428 00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:53,910 Always have to realize that there's still a lot at risk here, but I have 429 00:25:53,910 --> 00:25:57,950 encouragement. I love that she's breathing more comfortably. I think it's 430 00:25:57,950 --> 00:26:02,110 check in the positive box, but we've still got a long way to go. 431 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,920 How excited are you, Lauren? I'm so excited. 432 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,020 I hope this is a really nice, good abscess. 433 00:26:21,300 --> 00:26:23,720 What do you think, is it really liquidy or do you think it's going to be like... 434 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240 I think it's going to be liquidy. Stop ruining food! 435 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,820 Today we are going to do a full procedure with Otis, which is going to 436 00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:35,820 fully anesthetizing him so we're able to get a really good look at his abscess. 437 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,480 We're going to make her watch the puss. I mean, I don't mind, it's just... I 438 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,299 don't love it. 439 00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,800 Like, you guys are all like, yeah, I hope it's disgusting. 440 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,720 And I'm like, oh, it's going to be disgusting. 441 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,540 Otis is still really young.

Is she pushing off 503 00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:38,860 with her back paddle? 504 00:30:38,940 --> 00:30:41,540 I don't know if she's pushing off, but she's resting it on the floor. 505 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,800 She's breathing. 506 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,620 Now she did just have to push off the floor to get to the surface there. 507 00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:52,520 The thing that comes to my mind immediately is that she has a collapsed 508 00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:54,800 Is there fluid that's starting to pool up in her chest? 509 00:30:55,940 --> 00:30:59,980 We are going to take the next steps in obtaining a CT scan for Prop Lee. 510 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,740 And this is going to require that we transport her off -site to an outside 511 00:31:08,740 --> 00:31:11,380 facility that does CT scans routinely on humans. 512 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,579 On the left. 513 00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:13,580 Sure. 514 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,520 concerned about probably at this point we really just want to make sure she's 515 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,980 comfortable but we also want to make sure that she's going to survive 516 00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:34,040 have that strong survivorship drive i mean they're wildlife i'm always so 517 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,960 impressed with what wildlife can overcome so the team's definitely 518 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,960 properly 519 00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:49,140 local hospital that's actually just for people and it's not for animals so it's 520 00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:52,320 really great that they've accommodated us to help our manatee out. 521 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,880 Okay ready one two three. 522 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,160 One two three. 523 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,060 A CT scan is a really powerful imaging modality that gives you way more 524 00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:12,540 information than a plain x -ray or an ultrasound will give you. I think we're 525 00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:13,540 ready. 526 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,460 It's just a big machine, and it's room all by itself, and it's got a big hole 527 00:32:18,460 --> 00:32:21,400 a big donut that you can scan the animal through. 528 00:32:21,780 --> 00:32:25,220 We'll be able to look at her, in a sense, three -dimensionally. We can 529 00:32:25,220 --> 00:32:29,120 out the bones, we can look for fractures, and really see the extent of 530 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,180 trauma that she's dealing with. 531 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:35,940 I'm hoping that the images are clear enough that we can know what's going on 532 00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:36,940 internally. 533 00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:41,720 I have a lot of faith that this is going to give us answers today. 534 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360 We're starting to get images for properly. 535 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,380 You start seeing the gashes coming in. Yeah. 536 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:09,040 Wow.

The way that lung looks to me is just not 539 00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,720 I'm not even seeing any lung on this side at all. 540 00:33:18,190 --> 00:33:21,910 So one lung is completely collapsed. You can barely even see any lung tissue. I 541 00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:25,610 suspect it's along the wall of her body, so that's completely obliterated. One 542 00:33:25,610 --> 00:33:29,290 of her vertebrae fractured off and was connecting into what we call the spinal 543 00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:33,290 canal. So we absolutely expect that she's dealing with a nasty infection in 544 00:33:33,290 --> 00:33:34,229 spinal cord. 545 00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:37,130 I like to see that big gash here and the fractures there. 546 00:33:37,670 --> 00:33:39,790 Unfortunately, this is exactly what I feared. 547 00:33:40,890 --> 00:33:42,490 This is going to be beyond repair. 548 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,960 We make the tough decision to move forward with humane euthanasia. 549 00:33:54,380 --> 00:33:58,760 I think it's the fairest, most kindest thing that we could offer for a 550 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,940 We don't want her to suffer anymore. 551 00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:10,020 She's squeaking. I heard that little squeak. 552 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,139 This is the really, really hard part of rehab. 553 00:34:15,940 --> 00:34:18,159 It's so tough. 554 00:34:19,279 --> 00:34:20,279 Properly is a heartbreaker. 555 00:34:20,460 --> 00:34:26,560 I'm really sad about it and trying to hold it together because the team looks 556 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,159 us for that leadership. But sometimes you just lose it because it shows how 557 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:36,179 we care and how much we love them. We fall in love with every Manatee we have. 558 00:34:36,460 --> 00:34:37,460 It sucks. 559 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,520 Yeah. 560 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,360 You know, we just have to slow down where Manatees live so that they have an 561 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,380 opportunity to swim away. 562 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,520 She's less than two years old, and she had her whole life ahead of her, and 563 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,420 unfortunately, it was cut short by a boat. 564 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,400 She hasn't taken a breath in a little bit. 565 00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:11,280 Thanks for trying. 566 00:35:12,129 --> 00:35:15,510 I was up all night last night just thinking about her and didn't want her 567 00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:17,410 suffer, and I wanted to make sure we helped her. 568 00:35:18,190 --> 00:35:22,030 And I would do that again tomorrow, and I would do it again the day after.

A couple of friends, which is great news, that 678 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:38,480 he'll be able to hang out with them and acclimate pretty easily and then should 679 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,020 leave while it's still warm out and find some food. 680 00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:44,800 And then we are going to have some more cold days ahead, so we're hoping he'll 681 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,340 migrate back to the power plant on those colder nights. 682 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,160 They're working on fitting him with a belt and a tag. The tag will allow 683 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,120 biologists to monitor his progress and be able to make sure that he's doing 684 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,120 everything he should. 685 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,100 The GPS tracker will only stay on him maybe about a year or less. 686 00:42:01,630 --> 00:42:05,770 If he does well and finds food and he finds warm water pretty quickly over the 687 00:42:05,770 --> 00:42:08,030 next few months, he actually may graduate even sooner. 688 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:11,790 Yes, we confirmed it on tag and seven. 689 00:42:12,210 --> 00:42:16,650 If he is successful, is eating, and his belly is big, and he doesn't look poor, 690 00:42:16,830 --> 00:42:19,950 then he'll get to graduate and be a wild man and see for the rest of his life. 691 00:42:20,530 --> 00:42:21,530 Nice. You ready? 692 00:42:21,750 --> 00:42:22,810 You ready? Here you go. 693 00:42:23,470 --> 00:42:27,370 Okay, so Danielle, just so you know, when you're in the front, we've just got 694 00:42:27,370 --> 00:42:28,790 keep walking in, so we're going to get... 695 00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:56,230 bittersweet watching them swim away. Usually what I do is I picture when they 696 00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:58,490 came in and that helps me remember everything they've been through and 697 00:42:58,490 --> 00:43:02,150 everything that we put into them and the fact that he looks so good today shows 698 00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:04,070 how much hard work can pay off. 699 00:43:04,770 --> 00:43:05,770 Somebody's way over there. 700 00:43:09,350 --> 00:43:11,250 And next up we're going to be releasing retail. 701 00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:30,620 Being in the rehabilitation field, you do see a lot of injured animals that 702 00:43:30,620 --> 00:43:34,220 don't ever make it past just being injured. They end up passing away at our 703 00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:38,700 facility. And we're going to keep fighting, doing whatever we can for all 704 00:43:38,700 --> 00:43:40,440 manatees that come into our critical care center. 705 00:43:40,740 --> 00:43:41,940 Oh yeah, they're together. 706 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000 Tags and movements. 707 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,500 Make good choices. 708 00:43:49,260 --> 00:43:52,480 Release day is always amazing for all of us. We work really hard. 709 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,680 basically every day of our lives, and to see an animal turn around and get 710 00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:58,459 released back. 711 00:43:58,460 --> 00:44:01,820 It really never gets old. I've released a lot of manatees since I worked at the 712 00:44:01,820 --> 00:44:03,640 zoo, and it's always special. 713 00:44:04,460 --> 00:44:08,560 Especially in Bernadette's case, I know that he came in pretty sick, so I'm 714 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,520 really proud that he gets to go back out today. 715 00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,440 Good luck, Bernadette. Bye. Bye, Bernadette. 716 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:14,760 Do good. 61626
