Lung mechanical properties in the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus).

–Heavy cartilaginous reinforcements of airways were found to permit high expiratory flow rates at all lung volumes; to possibly compensate for low elastic recoil of lungs due to high gas/tissue ratio; and to prevent airway collapse during exhalation.
