Mystic, Conn. — The manatee that was rescued off the coast of Cape Cod last week is now pregnant.

“Washburn,” the 800 pound manatee, was spotted throughout the summer in Cape Cod. However, the cooler water temperatures posed a problem for her survival and as a result, she had to be rescued.

She is now receiving care at mystic aquarium before being sent back to Florida.
