In these situations, officials will only intervene is the animal is in danger, or in poor health. We believe Ilya was here feeding and has probably continued on her way. Local water temperatures are ok for manatees during this time of year.

Do you expect that it will be able to stay here? Any plans for returning Ilya to Florida?

Neat to see, but I do hope he makes it safely back where he belongs. Thanks for the videos!
