Rescue Center used for rehabilitating all sorts of wildlife that have been ill, injured or orphaned — including manatees, sea turtles, birds and other marine animals. Members of SeaWorld’s Rescue Team are on call 24/7/365 and partner with multiple government agencies to rescue and help animals in need of care. A part of SeaWorld that guests might not see often, the Rescue Center remains one of the most active places in the park. But what happens at the Rescue Center is only a portion of the story. What journey do the animals take before they arrive at this critical care facility in central Florida, and where do they go next?
