Learning capacities and welfare in an Antillean manatee, Trichechus manatus manatus [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2020 Studies on the cognitive abilities of manatees are limited despite their importance for the environmental enrichment and welfare of individuals in captivity and the understanding of manatee behaviour in the wild. Our study analyses how the presence of new stimuli and their association with food may have changed the behaviour of an Antillean manatee ...
