Biore was cavorting with a few other manatees in Pine Island Sound. Since his release he has utilized warm water sites, been consistently eating and has demonstrated overall good behaviors to warrant an end to his monitoring. During a body condition assessment, he was vigorously feeding. He had a round belly and looked very good overall. After his monitoring gear was removed, he stayed in the immediate vicinity interacting with the other manatees. Way to go Biore, you are now free and clear!

Biore was resting in a small river off the Caloosahatchee with many other manatees. Biore started traveling further into the river, stopping at a bend where many other manatees were milling and socializing. He interacted with a few of them and some started cavorting. He moved away from that activity and began to rest for the remainder of the observation.
