  1. sirenian mammal

    A sirenian mammal refers to a group of large, aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit swamps, rivers, estuaries, marine wetlands, and coastal marine environments. This group includes manatees and dugongs, also known as sea cows. They are characterized by their stout bodies, flipper-like forelimbs, tail flattened into a horizontal fluke, and thick, wrinkled skin often covered in sparse hair. They are the only marine mammals that are herbivores, primarily feeding on seagrasses and other aquatic plants. The name 'sirenian' is derived from the sirens of Greek mythology, as early explorers likened their appearance to mermaids. They are part of the order Sirenia in taxonomy.
