The non avian dinosaurs became extinct 65.5 million years ago. The earliest sirenians, (the order that includes manatees), didn't evolve until about 50 million years ago, 15 million years after the extinction of the non avian dinosaurs. However, scientists consider birds a group of dinosaurs, and, because birds still exist today, manatees do coexist with avian dinosaurs.
The name of the first flying dinosaur?
No known species of dinosaur was ever able to fly despite birds being believed to have evolved from them. The flying reptiles such as the pterodactylus, tapejara, geosternbergia and ornithocheirus etc are collectively known as 'pterosaurs'. Their taxonomy is considered different from the dinosaurs. The largest of the pterosaurs to be discovered so far is the Quetzalcoatlus.

What most people think of when they hear the phase ''Flying dinosaurs'' is animals like Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus and Rhamphorhynchus and the like. Those were 'flying reptiles' contemporary with dinosaurs. Such flying reptiles were called pterosaurs and they are notdinosaurs.However there are and were actual 'flying dinosaurs'.There is now overwhelming evidence that modern day birdsare a type of theropod dinosaur. Therefore the phase 'flying dinosaur' applies to them.The one of the biggest differences between pterosaurs and actual 'flying dinosaurs', the birds, is that the wing of a pterosaurs is made of a membrane whilst bird wings are made of feathers.

Pterodactyls and Pterodons are not dinosaurs, but pterosaurs, an order of reptiles all its own. There are flying dinosaurs however; many scientists now agree that modern birds are, in fact, dinosaurs.
