Color Vision in the Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Vision Research, 1996 Four manatees were trained to discriminate between a colored stimulus and a shade of gray in a two-fold simultaneous choice situation. The colors blue, green, red and blue-green were tested against shades of gray varying from low to high relative brightness. The animals distinguished both blue and green from a series of grays but failed to discriminate

Diet of the manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) in Chetumal Bay, Mexico

This is the first study of manatee diet in Mexico. Our main objective was to identify the plant species eaten by manatees in Chetumal Bay, and to establish if diet composition varied by climatic season ...
