An infant manatee was rescued off the coast of Florida May 2 after being separated from its mother.

The Dolphin Research Center's Manatee Rescue Team and the Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder unit used a net to corral the calf and scoop it from the waters.

The female calf has been taken to the Miami Seaquarium for treatment and rehabilitation.

The manatee is underweight at 65.5 pounds and has a bacterial infection, according to a veterinarian at the Seaquarium.

The calf is being kept in a pool with an older, orphaned female manatee.
