Hold the shrimp between the knuckles (keep fingers tucked in or you might loose them) and wait for stingray to take shrimp.

Florida's tropical waters are home to a great diversity of life and perhaps none are more rare and endearing than the manatee. These animals spend most of their time feeding (six to eight hours per day) and resting (two to twelve hours per day). All of the manatees at SeaWorld have been rescued by the park's animal rescue team and those who become healthy enough will be returned to their natural habitat.

With a legacy of animal rescue spanning more than 50 years and benefiting more than 24,000 animals, responding to wildlife in crisis is a commitment they take to heart. Working in partnership with state, local, and federal agencies, their rescue teams are on call 24/7 assisting animals that are orphaned, ill, injured or in need of expert care. Their goal is to successfully rehabilitate animals for return to the wild. The small percentage of animals whose injuries are too debilitating to permit release are given lifelong care.
