TAMPA, Fla. – Juliet, a manatee that lived at Miami Seaquarium, used to be discovered lifeless on Sunday in Tampa, in line with the ZooTampa at Lowry Park.

In a remark, Dr. Cynthia Stringfield, of ZooTampa, described Juliet as one of the vital oldest recognized manatees on this planet and reported she had died in a single day after affected by “health issues likely related to her advanced age.”

Veterinarians moved Romeo and Juliet from the Miami Seaquarium to rehabilitation pools at the ZooTampa at Lowry Park in December to get handled at The David A. Straz, Jr. Manatee Critical Care Center.

“She was an unusually large animal, weighing 3,045 pounds, and her age was estimated at over 65 years old,” Stringfield stated about Juliet

According to Stringfield, Romeo and Juliet had tailored to the surroundings and have been socializing with different manatees. Stringfield stated they have been acting an post-mortem.

“Juliet was a beloved animal, who captured the hearts of many worldwide. We would be contacted frequently by animal care professionals, veterinarians and even the general public who credit her for instilling their passion for these gentle sea cows,” Stringfield stated. “Our thoughts are with the entire manatee community and the teams who for more than six decades have cared for her.”
