西印度海牛,佛罗里达州,1999

中文注释：

海牛可长达13英尺(4米)，重达1,300磅(600公斤)。与其它许多动物一样，海牛的体型掩盖了它们在水中的优雅。它们常在沿岸的水中以每小时5到15英里(每小时8到24公里)的速度优雅的滑水。北弗罗里达的泉水常年保持72华氏度(22摄氏度)的恒温，西印度海牛常去那片水域过冬。

英文注释：

West Indian Manatee, Florida, 1999

Like many creatures, the manatee's bulk—they can be as much as 13 feet (4 meters) long and 1,300 pounds (600 kilograms)—belies its aquatic grace. Also called sea cows, manatees are graceful swimmers that typically glide along coastal waters at 5 to 15 miles an hour (8 to 24 kilometers an hour). This West Indian manatee is wintering in a North Florida spring, attracted by the region's constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) waters.
