Baby manatees in Florida who survived a Category 5 hurricane became an internet sensation after a keeper showed them being fed on Jan. 12, 2019.

Baby manatees José, Dex, and Ursula appeared in a 23-second video in which a SeaWorld Orlando employee appears to bottle-feed one of them. They were rescued after being separated from their parents during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
