Rescued manatee now recovering

KEY LARGO, Fa (WSVN) -- A baby manatee was rescued Tuesday in Key Largo and is now recovering.

Florida Wildlife officials pulled the calf to safety from a Key Largo canal.

Officials said the six-foot, 275-pound manatee was probably struck by a boat.

The manatee suffered a broken rib.

The little guy was named Pilgrim because of the Thanksgiving holiday. It is now at the Miami Seaquarium where it is expected to make a full recovery.
