Snooty s legacy lives on at upgraded Bishop Museum rehab facility
Kimberly Kuizon reports
BRADENTON, Fla. - The Bishop Museum will showcase upgrades to its Parker Manatee Rehabilitation habitat when it opens to the public Wednesday at 10 a.m.
They hope the changes help manatees feel more at home. We designed it to prepare it for manatees, to be a natural place for manatees and make it safe for them, said Virginia Edmonds, the director of animal care at The Bishop Museum.
Edmonds says the habitat mirrors a cypress spring. A sand-like texture allows Manatees like Janus and Iclyn to have a natural feel during their rehab experience.
