ZooTampa at Lowry Park is currently housing and rehabilitating 27 manatees, marking the largest number of these gentle giants the zoo has cared for at one time. This extraordinary effort highlights the zoo’s vital role in protecting Florida’s beloved marine mammals.
The David A. Straz, Jr. Manatee Critical Care Center has successfully treated over 600 manatees since its inception in 1991. The center’s legacy is a testament to its commitment to wildlife conservation and rehabilitation.
