Jon Peterson
VP of Zoological Operations at SeaWorld Orlando, Head of SeaWorld Orlando’s Rescue Team
Jon Peterson, started his career at Hudson, Ohio as a 1993 graduate, while working at SeaWorld, Aurora’s mailroom. Through hard work and perseverance, he never gave up on his dream and is now VP of Zoological Operations of SeaWorld, Orlando head of rescue in Orlando. and Chairman of the Manatee Rescue and Rehabilitation Partnership. He is always on call for any animal that needs rescuing. Over the last 55+ years, SeaWorld has rescued over 40,000 animals.
JP, says raising an orphaned manatee baby (or neonate) for release back into the wild takes three years, and they will spend around $600,000 on every neonate that comes in.
"We will bottle-feed every three hours for the first year," Peterson said. "We will start giving them a little bit of lettuce at about month three. At about a year, we start transitioning, we get them out in our exhibit, where we literally go hands-off."
SeaWorld Orlando serves as one of only five critical care facilities in the U.S. for the treatment and care of injured, sick, and orphaned animals, including manatees. SeaWorld can accommodate up to 70 manatees at its Orlando rescue facility at one time.
JP can also be seen frequently on the show Sea Rescue on ABC.
