Recently, SeaWorld Orlando's animal experts helped to transport five pilot whales in the Florida Keys.  The five whales were part of a group of nearly two dozen that had beached themselves in the Keys. Sadly, only 7 survived.

Volunteers and experts from SeaWorld, NOAA and other marine animal stranding partners provided round-the-clock care for the 7 whales.  Ultimately, 2 whales were returned to the wild on Saturday, May 7.

Then, on Tuesday, May 10, the remaining 5 whales were moved to Key Largo, where they'll receive intensive care with hopes of returning them to the wild.

The effort by everyone -- not to mention the citizens of Florida's Keys -- has been incredible.
