We were all sad to hear that Dennis, the manatee that had strayed into Sesuit Harbor, died in Orlando yesterday after a 27 hour trip. He had suffered from being in the cold water and his temperature had dropped to 73 degrees which is 24 degrees below normal. Every effort was made to bring him to his native surroundings, but unfortunately, the stress was too much for him. He definitely wouldn't have made it if he was left in the north, so many agencies and individuals coordinated their efforts to give him a chance. Cape Cod residents fell in love with him during his short stay and we are all saddened to hear he didn't make it after such a long journey.
