The Seas with Nemo & Friends is a popular attraction for guests at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT, but for one rescued manatee, the more than 5 million-gallon aquarium inside the pavilion is now a temporary home while she continues her recovery.
Calfuccino, a young female manatee who was rescued near Naples, Fla., in May 2025 alongside her mother, Venti, arrived at EPCOT last week to receive short-term rehabilitative care. According to information shared with Parade by Walt Disney World, Venti was suffering from an injury at the time of the rescue but had successfully cared for Calfuccino, who was just a calf.
After her rescue, Calfuccino received critical care at ZooTampa, growing from about 156 pounds at the time of her rescue to more than 545 pounds today.

Walt Disney World partners with the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support the rescue, rehabilitation and release of Florida manatees. At The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Disney provides specialized care for manatees recovering from illnesses, injuries and other challenges, helping prepare them for a return to the wild.

According to Disney, the company has successfully rehabilitated and released 30 manatees back into the wild.
In the meantime, EPCOT guests can see Calfuccino alongside two other manatees receiving short-term care at The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion, Cider and Tanimura.
