The Manatee Rescue Center in Iquitos, the Amazon This private center rescues animals from the Amazon that are orphaned or would be poached otherwise. In particular they focus on their indigenous manatee, which is the smallest in the world. Our Florida manatee is the largest in the world. Both populations are endangered but for different reasons. Here it's the motorboat propellers and pollution. In the Amazon it's the local people who want to eat them.

In the last shots they were doing some surgery on one little guy to remove an infection and puss........and he was crying. When he's grown and rehabilitated they will release him back into the river.
