How far can manatees swim in a day?
A. It depends on the individual manatee. Just like humans, some manatees are more predisposed to traveling than others. Some manatees are being tracked using a satellite transmitter. As a result, researchers have been able to record some interesting manatee movements. One manatee made a 150-mile trip in less than four days on one occasion. She swam nearly 45 miles per day!
