Maneuverability of the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) during swimming
Analyses of high-speed film of captive Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) show that there is no correlation between the radii of submerged turns and swimming speed. The sharpest turns had a mean turn radius (n = 5) of 0.14 m (0.24 body lengths), were powered by beating wings, and used multiple steering structures (beak, tail, feet, wings) and a flexing body. This turn radius is similar to th

Tolerance of West Indian manatees to capture and handling
Ninety-two West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) have been captured in the southeastern United States from October 1975 through November 1983 with no evidence of an unusual susceptibility to capture myopathy. Of these, 53 were radio-tracked or observed in the field following capture with no evidence of delayed capture stress. Blood samples obtained at capture for 20 wild individuals displayed
