Dugongs are strictly marine and possess a dolphin-like fluke rather than paddle-like tails of manatees.

   How do sirenians differ from dugongs & manatees?

   • Sirenians in general are slow-moving but capable of short bursts of speed. There are no marked differences between the sexes; females have two inconspicuous mammary glands with one teat near the base of each flipper. Both dugongs and manatees have thick tough skin (that of Steller’s sea cow was even tougher).

   Sirenian bones are exceptionally dense, most of them lacking marrow. This adaptation is thought to help maintain neutral buoyancy. Manatees and dugongs differ in a number of traits besides the shape of the tail. Manatees lack incisor teeth, but incisors do occur in dugongs, erupting as tusks in the males.
