Did they have signs with each manatees' profile on them? Was there one with the name of Wooten?
 
Got to be honest - I can't remember in the slightest - sorry! I don't specifically remember seeing a sign with individuals' details, but there could have been one.

Okay, thanks anyways:) I was wondering because Wooten, a young male that was rescued (SeaWorld) and rehabilitated at the Cincinnati Zoo, was sent down to the Seaquarium in 2012 to be released. I never once heard any further news about him after that and I wasn't sure if he was released or not.
 
Does Cincinnati still keep manatees?

Yes, they currently have two 0.2 Florida Manatees in their Manatee Springs exhibit. Every manatee that's been at the zoo has been rehabilitated and released back into the wild with the help of SeaWorld and the Miami Seaquarium. I believe they are up to 12 or 13 manatees released, and the exhibit opened in 1999. Once a manatee(s) is freed, a new one(s) will be brought in and the procean will start over.
