In the last two years, nearly 2,000 manatees died in Florida. Environmental groups are now calling for the threatened species to be re-listed as endangered.
For the second year in a row, Florida's manatees are dying at an alarming rate. A new
Zoo Tampa serves as a critical trauma center for injured manatees across the region. The zoo is one of four rehab facilities in Florida fighting to save the shrinking manatee population. "We've had some really tough cases some that you know, we've worked really hard on and haven't been able to save but some that we really just never thought would turn the corner and have gone on to get released out there," Lippincott said.
