Manatee Scapula KO-146-S $85.00 Order This / View Your Cart A perfect companion to our Manatee skull, BC-046. Manatees (sometimes referred to as Sea Cows) and Dugongs, of the order Sirenia, are the only solely herbaceous aquatic mammals. These massive fusiform (torpedo shaped) animals average 10 feet long and weigh around 1,000 lbs. They have two agile front paddle-like forelimbs, a broad fin-like tail, and powerful upper lips, which they use to forage through sediment and maneuver food. These gentle animals are more closely related to Elephants, Hyraxes and Aardvarks than to seemingly similar cetaceans (whales and dolphins). Large, docile animals, they live in warm coastal waters and estuaries and are endangered due to changes in climate, commercial exploitation, subsistence hunting and, most recently, propeller boat injuries. Forelimb also available as a set. Please see below.
