Three manatees had major problems in the Florida Keys. They just returned after a change.

Three manatees who were being treated for medical issues and injuries in Orlando were released in the Florida Keys in late November.

The mammals, all males, were driven to the Keys in a truck Nov. 29 and released into a canal on Key Colony Beach, a small incorporated town in the Middle Keys. They were all rehabilitated in SeaWorld, said Mary Stella, spokes woman for the Dolphin Research Center, a marine mammal park and rescue organization based in Grassy Key.

One of the manatees is about 10 to 11 feet long and was rescued from Sombrero Beach in Marathon in April after suffering from head injuries from a boat strike, Stella said.
