Myriah 1
Myriah, who liked to throw temper tantrums when captured, was transported to the release site in a special foam lined box seen here. The box was needed for her own safety and the safety of the people releasing her.

The box with manatee inside was removed from the truck by a fork lift.

The box was then attached to a crane which transported her to the water.
