ZooTampa

ZooTampa said Juliet was one of the oldest known manatees. She and another manatee were transferred from Miami Seaquarium in December.

Nutrient buildup from runoff, increased development and septic systems have led to harmful algal blooms in Indian River Lagoon. These blooms then decimate the seagrass, which is the manatee’s food source.

The latest figures are showing that 56 manatees have been found dead so far in Florida this year — even more than last year during the same time frame. That's worrying since last year was Florida's second-deadliest year for manatees on record.

Nearly the entire population of Tampa, Kansas visited Tampa, Florida this week.

It's a condition similar to the "bends" that scuba divers can contract.

Zoo staff are examining mechanical equipment and testing the tank's water quality. They say it could take weeks to get some results.
