manatee
\man`a*tee"\, n. [Sp. manat['i], from the native name in
Haiti. Cf.
Lamantin.] (Zo["o]l.)
Any species of
Trichechus, a genus of sirenians; -- called
also
sea cow. [Written also
manaty,
manati.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: One species (
Trichechus Senegalensis) inhabits the
west coast of Africa; another (
Trichechus Americanus)
inhabits the east coast of South America, and the
West-Indies. The Florida manatee (
Trichechus latirostris
) is by some considered a distinct species,
by others it is thought to be a variety of
Trichechus Americanus
. It sometimes becomes fifteen feet or more
in length, and lives both in fresh and salt water. It
was hunted for its oil and flesh, and every species is
now an endangered species.
[1913 Webster]
