13．Swimming along a river in western Florida，a newborn manatee（海牛） calls out for her mother．But the baby hears no answer．The mother has disappeared，possibly frightened away by a passing motorboat．Longing for her mom's gentle touch，the confused manatee begins rubbing against the closest big thing she can find-a boat．
From his home beside the river，Richard Dash sees the manatee rubbing against the boat．He keeps watch on the animal，hoping the mother will appear．But after two hours，she's still alone．Dash calls the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for help．"A baby manatee needs its mother to show it where to find food，"says Andrew Garrett，a rescue coordinator（协调员） at the organization．"Without a mother's guidance，chances of survival are pretty much zero．"

A few weeks later，an adult manatee recovering at the center from an accident has a baby．This gives animal care manager Virginia Edmonds an idea．She decides to introduce Kee to the new mom，named Della．Edmonds hopes that Della will raise Kee alongside her own baby，Pal．So the workers place the three manatees in the same pool．Within hours Della is nursing Kee with her milk．Soon Kee is getting all of her food from Della．
