A rehabilitated manatee apparently has ditched a radio transmitter, prompting wildlife officials to ask the public for help in spotting the wayward sea mammal.
The Bradenton Herald reports that a manatee named Tippecanoe may be swimming in the Manatee River-Sarasota Bay area. The manatee was tagged with a radio transmitter that has been found near Punta Gorda.
Officials now would like to know the location of Tippecanoe. They say he may be easily identified by a belt that had held the trasnmitter, according to the Bradenton Herald.
Anyone who may have seen the missing manatee is asked to call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-FWCC (3922).
