'''Manatees''' (family ''Trichechidae'', genus ''Trichechus'') are large, fully-aquatic marine [[mammals]] sometimes known as sea [[cow]]s. The name comes from the [[Spanish]] manatí, which itself comes from a Carib word meaning "breast." They comprise three of the four living species in the order ''Sirenia'', the other being the dugong, which is native to the Eastern Hemisphere.
