Manatees are sometimes called sea cows, and their languid pace lends
merit to the comparison. However, despite their massive bulk, they are
graceful swimmers in coastal waters and rivers. Powering themselves with
their strong tails, manatees typically glide along at 5 miles (8
kilometers) an hour but can swim 15 miles (24 kilometers) an hour in
short bursts.
