African manatees live in groups of one to six individuals.

However, a limiting factor of where the African manatee can live is temperature.

Each day, the African manatee will eat about 4 to 9 percent of its body weight in wet vegetation.

However, laws will do nothing if they are not enforced, which is unfortunately the case with the African manatee.

African manatees breed at all times of the year.

Laws protect the African manatee in every country in which it lives.

Rarely will a male African manatee be able to fertilise an egg at two or three years old.

Due to mass lack of enforcement and education, the African manatee population is still being steadily depleted.

Some behaviours of African manatees provoke humans' desires to hunt them.

One reason for the African manatee living in small groups is it has very few natural predators, two of which are sharks and crocodiles.

The African manatee does not have any hindlimbs.

During the daytime, the African manatee dozes in shallow (1-2 m deep) water.

The African manatee's only significant threats are due to poaching, habitat loss, and other environmental impacts.

Mammals found here include the African manatee.

African manatees inhabiting rivers eat mostly overhanging plants growing on the river banks.

If the African manatee's molars happen to fall out, new molars grow in their place.

Other African countries also contributed reports that broadened knowledge of the African manatee.

West African Manatee's occur within the bolon and were previously hunted for meat.

The diets of African manatees living in estuaries consist of just mangrove trees.

The shape of an African manatee's body is such that it is "full around the middle and narrowing to a paddle-shaped tail".

Phase I also allowed for up-close examination of the African manatee's way of life through field work.

Mammals remaining include the African Manatee, known as sea cow which lives in the rivers and feeds on underwater plants.

The African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) is also present.

African manatees can be found in much of the western region of Africa, from Senegal to Angola.

The African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) is also present.

The river's fauna are not well protected; particularly endangered is the African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis).

African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis)

The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) are also observed in the area.

The West African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis), a mammal, lives in the water between the mangroves and is categorized as an endagered species.

The West African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) is the most prominent fauna species in the lake which is reported as its last habitat in the world.

The African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis), also known as the West African manatee or seacow, is a species of manatee; it is mostly herbivorous (eats plants).

The MoU protects the West African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis) and all populations of small cetaceans including the endemic Atlantic humpback dolphin (Sousa teuszi).

In this way, the nearby Basse Casamance National Park, which has been closed for years, has seen a remarkable return of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus), Senegalese manatees (Trichechus senegalensis), and breeding birds.

The rich communities of oysters, crabs, invertebrates and the great variety of fish sheltering and spawning in the mangroves sustain animal life including monkeys, African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis), and turtles like the African softshell turtle (Trionyx triunguis).
