BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — The Brevard Zoo opened its new Manatee Rehabilitation Center and welcomed its first two patients.
The center’s focus is to provide immediate care to stable, non-critical manatees.
The new facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, from walk-in coolers to store manatee diets, to life support systems to keep the pools running smoothly, and cameras installed to monitor the manatees 24/7.
With the recent wave of manatee deaths over the years, this center looks to help those manatees in need.
Here are photos from the rehab center:
