Trichechus inunguis
Member of the genus Trichechus found in the Amazon and Orinoco drainages of northeastern South America. (From Scott, Concise Encyclopedia Biology, 1996)
Trichechus manatus
Member of the genus Trichechus inhabiting the coast and coastal rivers of the southeastern United States as well as the West Indies and the adjacent mainland from Vera Cruz, Mexico to northern South America. (From Scott, Concise Encyclopedia Biology, 1996)
Trichechus
A genus of the order Sirenia comprising what are commonly called manatees. The distinguishing characteristics include a tail that is not notched, a short nasal cavity, the absence of nasal bones, and enamel-covered teeth. Members of this genus are found in marine bays and/or sluggish rivers, usually in turbid water. (From Scott, Concise Encyclopedia Biology, 1996)
Sirenia
An order of heavy-bodied, slow-moving, completely aquatic, herbivorous mammals. The body is fusiform, plump, and hairless, except for bristles on the snout. Hindlimbs are absent, the forelimbs are modified to flippers, and the tail is a horizontal fluke. (From Scott, Concise Encyclopedia Biology, 1996)
Dugong
A genus of the order Sirenia characterized by a notched tail, the presence of nasal bones and a long nasal cavity, and large columnar teeth lacking enamel. Dugongs inhabit the coastal waters of the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and the Malay Archipelago. (From Scott, Concise Encyclopedia Biology, 1996)

'Trichechus inunguis', also known as the Amazonian manatee, is a fully aquatic, herbivorous marine mammal belonging to the Sirenia order, found primarily in the freshwater river systems of the Amazon Basin in South America.

'Trichechus inunguis' is not a recognized medical term or a condition related to human health. It refers to the Amazonian manatee, also known as the southern manatee, which is a large, aquatic, herbivorous mammal native to the Amazon Basin in South America.

The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is one of the three extant species of manatees, along with the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) and the West African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis). These aquatic mammals are known for their streamlined bodies, paddle-like tails, and gentle demeanor.

Trichechus manatus, also known as the West Indian Manatee or American Manatee, is a large, fully aquatic, herbivorous marine mammal belonging to the family Trichechidae, characterized by its thick, wrinkled skin; paddle-like flippers; flat, rounded tail; and lack of external ears.

'Trichechus manatus' is the scientific name for the West Indian Manatee, also known as the American Manatee. It is a large, aquatic, herbivorous mammal that lives in warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Ocean along the North American coast. They are known for their slow movement, wrinkled skin, and paddle-like flippers. West Indian Manatees are an endangered species due to habitat loss, boat strikes, and other human activities.

'Trichechus' is a genus of large, herbivorous marine mammals, commonly known as manatees, characterized by their streamlined bodies, paddle-like limbs, and unique, whiskery snouts used for feeding on underwater vegetation in shallow aquatic habitats.

"Trichechus" is the genus name for three species of aquatic mammals commonly known as manatees or sea cows. These herbivorous animals are found in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. They are known for their slow movement, wrinkled skin, and paddle-like flippers.

Sirenia is an order of large, fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that includes manatees and the dugong, characterized by their streamlined bodies, paddle-like limbs, and flattened tails adapted for swimming in marine environments.

"Sirenia" is not a medical term, but a biological classification for a group of aquatic mammals commonly known as sea cows. This order includes four extant species: the Dugong (Dugong dugon), and three manatee species - the Amazonian Manatee (Trichechus inunguis), the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus), and the African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis). These herbivorous animals are known for their streamlined bodies, paddle-like limbs, and whiskered snouts. They inhabit warm coastal and riverine habitats in various parts of the world.

Dugong is a large, herbivorous marine mammal, Dugong dugon, of the family Dugongidae, also known as the sea cow, having a thick, streamlined body, a fluked tail, and a unique snout resembling an elephant's trunk, primarily found in shallow tropical and subtropical seas within seagrass meadows in the Indo-Pacific region.

A dugong is a large marine mammal that belongs to the family Dugongidae. Its scientific name is Dugong dugon. It is also known as the sea cow because of its habit of feeding on seagrasses. Dugongs are found in warm coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, ranging from East Africa to Vanuatu in the west and from Japan to Australia in the east. They can grow up to 3 meters in length and weigh between 200-500 kilograms.

Dugongs have a streamlined body with a flat, paddle-like tail and two flippers. Their skin is thick and wrinkled, and they are usually gray or brownish-gray in color. Dugongs have a unique feeding apparatus that allows them to graze on seagrasses, which include specialized lips and teeth.

Dugongs are social animals that live in small groups called herds. They communicate with each other using a variety of sounds, including clicks, chirps, and whistles. Dugongs have a long lifespan, with some individuals living up to 70 years or more.

Unfortunately, dugongs are threatened by various human activities, such as hunting, habitat loss, and entanglement in fishing nets. They are currently listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
