Analysis of body condition indices reveals different ecotypes of the Antillean manatee [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Assessing the body condition of wild animals is necessary to monitor the health of the population and is critical to defining a framework for conservation actions. Body condition indices (BCIs) are a non-invasive and relatively simple means to assess the

Antillean manatee calves in captive rehabilitation change vocal behavior in anticipation of feeding

Zoo Biology, 2023
Antillean manatee calves in captive rehabilitation produced more calls before feeding than during and postfeeds. Our findings indicate they anticipate feeding events and change their vocal behavior as a result. Abstract Captive animals typically develop anticipatory behaviors, actions of increased frequency done in anticipation of an event such as ...
