There are 4 different known species of manatee, all with slightly different scientific names:

  • The Amazonian Manatee is called the Trichechus inunguis
  • The West Indian Manatee is called the Trichechus manatus
  • The African Manatee is called the Trichechus senegalensis
  • The Dwarf Manatee is called the Trichechus pygmaeus(although it has been questioned whether the Dwarf Manatee is indeed a new species)
