SeaWorld’s Animal Rescue Team to release Manatee

Seaworld Orlando will release “Snap” - an 8 foot long sea cow, back into the Sebastian River in Sebastian on Friday at 10:15 a.m. Rescued a year ago and suffering from pneumothorax - air trapped in the chest cavity - Seaworld’s rescue team rehabilitated “Snap” with antibiotics and helped her gain 220 pounds. She now tips the scales at a healthy 930 pounds.

Having been to Seaworld several times so far this year, it’s easy to forget that they are a working rehabilitation and learning facility. Seaword’s Rescue team, on call 24/7, responds to call of injured or stranded animals and provides life saving care with the ultimate goal of releasing their ‘patients’ back into the wild.

Blue Man Group opens in Orlando

I recently saw the Blue trio in Las Vegas so when they announced that they were coming to Universal Studios Orlando I was pleased. It’s a show that no one should miss! Having already seen one BMG show before I don’t know if I’ll get as much out of this one. The creators promise to incorporate new material into the show that will compliment reused content. Tickets are $59 per adult and $49 for children 3-9.

Stay tuned for a review.
