message: Are Seacows amphibious?Pikazilla 21:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly not. They are much too big and bulky to go on land, and their flippers are not strong enough. Even if they could, why would they need to (as they have no natural predators)? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 00:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

message: It's not clear from the article whether 'Sirenia' is singular or plural, and what the other form is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed Avis (talk • contribs) 14:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is technically a plural, but as a scientific order name, it is neither: it is a name, and uncountable. There is no other form (at least in use: if there would be one, it would be sirenium [Latin] or sirenion [Greek]). Ucucha 16:17, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: "In Germanic languages, the word See can mean either a body of fresh or salt water, so this follows from the species inhabiting lakes in southern Africa rather than the sea itself."
Since English is a Germanic language, can this sentence be adjusted? As far as I know, sea" in English always refers to saltwater bodies.

message: Manatees do not have blubber, only a thin layer of fat. This is why they migrate to warmer waters in winter, their fat cannot keep them warm in the same way that blubber keeps other marine mammals warm.*** 199.19.138.100 (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
