This informative volume presents a fascinating look at the largely unseen lives of manatees and dugongs. Five chapters provide the latest information regarding relationships to other living subungulates, theories of evolution, range, habitat requirements, migration patterns, physical characteristics, diet, reproduction, social behavior, predators, intelligence, social structure, vocalizations, sirenians in myth and tradition, and research and conservation, among other topics. The book is illustrated by more than 100 photographs by internationally renowned underwater photographer Doug Perrine and others.
