A dugong has a nose flap but the manatee does not. And the manatee cannot stay as long as the dugong canAnother answer.Another clear distinction between a dugong and a manatee is the tail. Manatees tails are more rounded like a paddle, whereas a dugongs tail looks more like the flukes of a whale.

A dugong is an animal similar to a manatee. This animal looks similar in appearance to a manatee, aside from the snout which is downturned, and used for grazing on the bottom of the water. The tail is also similar to that of a dolphin. This animal survives by eating sea-grass.
There are 3 species of manatee. There is the West Indian manatee, the Amazonian manatee, and the Florida manatee.
Probably the tail, the snout, and the size (Not quite a feature, but is still distinguishable). The tail is rounded, like a paddle. The part connecting the tale and the rest of the body, the bone, had less thin of a bone and is thicker, but at the same time, narrower, like a tube. The manatee is not to be confused with the dugong, whose tail more closely represents a dolphin tail. The snout is round, and is rather closely built into the head. The eyes are located a little higher up than the snout, but because the snout is hardly distinguishable from the head, You can barely tell. The size of a manatee, to put it bluntly, is large. The average adult could stand about 12 feet tall (about 4 meters tall.)
