Mana-team, feeding at sunrise

Mitch, Lucky & Khaleesi are in this lake 'pool.' Mitch: was found near the body of a dead manatee – presumed to be his mother. He sides were badly bruised, and his flippers had limited movement – unable to support him when he struggled to the surface to breathe. Lucky: came in with 6 weeks old. Found on a beach. Badly scratched and bruised, this small calf has problems staying even-keeled in the water, and needs physical support in the water as his condition stabilizes. Khaleesi: when found she was less than a week old, being washed against the rocks at the water's edge by strong waves.
