- W996541561 abstract "This chapter discusses the characteristics, taxonomy, distribution, abundance, and ecology of manatees. Inunguis refers to the lack of nails on the pectoral flippers of the Amazonian manatee. At least two possible origins for manatus have been suggested: It could refer to the hand (manus) since manatees sometimes use their front, or pectoral, limbs to push food into their mouths. Unlike some marine mammals, manatees and the other living member of the order Sirenia, the dugong, are totally aquatic. They inhabit shallow waterways and feed primarily on plants, a diet that makes the sirenians unique among modern marine mammals. They lack hind (pelvic) limbs; have reduced, paddle-like front (pectoral) limbs; and have fusiform (streamlined, spindle-shaped) bodies with few external protuberances and thick, tough skin. They are very large. Their heads are somewhat streamlined, and the nostrils are located on the dorsal side of the muzzle. This species occupies coastal and riverine habitats from the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, throughout the wider Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, and into coastal parts of northeastern and central-eastern South America. It occupies the waters of 19 countries." @default.
