    At the Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo in Florida, members of the manatee relief team prepare to help load Lorac into a harness for release into the ocean. Lorac, a 2-year-old female West Indian manatee, was rescued after being found orphaned near Cape Coral in 2010. She is being released in Homosassa Springs.
