Elusive Chesapeake Bay manatee finally captured in Queenstown
Wildlife officials on Saturday cornered a 11 foot long 1,600 pound male manatee in Queenstown Harbor after weeks of pursuit. The animal, aged about 30 to 50 years, was flown to Baltimore’s National Aquarium for observation and may be released off South Florida as early as Tuesday. Experts from Sea World of Florida and U S Fish and Wildlife Service say scars on its back can identify the animal if re spotted.
