Eight orphaned manatees recently caught a flight from Ohio to Florida to be released back into the wild.  Three different zoos in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Tampa worked with SeaWorld to rehabilitate them.

They had to travel in custom-made containers and be monitored throughout the flight.  Then five more young manatees caught a return flight to Ohio so they can be rehabbed and released.
