The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT welcomed a new resident on September 20, 2024. Inigo, a young manatee, made his debut in the guest viewing area. While his weight and history are still being added to the tank’s information board, Inigo has already become a favorite among visitors.
Inigo’s arrival follows the relocation of Lou, Lil Joe’s previous companion. Lou was moved to another rehabilitation center on September 11 as part of a statewide manatee relocation plan recommended by the Manatee Rehabilitation Partnership and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services.
Additionally, three male dolphins will be transferred from The Seas to the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park in late October.
