Eva is the largest manatee in Amazon Flooded Forest. She weighs about 1,200kg! The mother of eight calves and grandmother of seven, she is the grande dame of the herd.
Pedro is the oldest male in our collection. To tell him apart from the rest, look out for his long, lanky frame. He often nibbles the aquarists, as a way of asking for food.
Canola was hand-raised by our aquarists when she was not observed to suckle. Every three hours in her first three months, Canola was bottle-fed a special mixture of puppy formula and goat milk, infused with canola oil, hence her name.
