The African manatee (Trichechus senegalensis), also known as the West African manatee or seacow, is a species of manatee which is mostly herbivorous. African manatees can be found in much of the western region of Africa, from Senegal to Angola. The African manatee was officially declared a species under the Trichechus senegalensis taxon in 1795 by the naturalist Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link. The African manatee falls under the genusTrichechus with only two other species, the Amazonian manatee and the West Indian manatee, which are also sirenians. Order: Sirenia, Family: Trichechidae, Genus: Trichechus, Species: Trichechus senegalensis Link, 1795.
