Sperm whale rescued on Manasota Beach hooked to Sea World care
A 15 foot 2,700 pound young sperm whale rescued from Manasota Beach remains alive but ill at Sea World near Orlando. It is being force fed and treated with antibiotics for an ear abscess while experts assess the cause of beaching and whether a release or autopsy is planned. Sea World has federal protection and will coordinate with the U S Fish and Wildlife Service on next steps.
