Manatees are more similar to elephants than to pinnipeds (like seals and sea lions) in several key ways. Both manatees and elephants share a common ancestry as they are part of the clade Afrotheria, which highlights their evolutionary relationship. Additionally, both species exhibit similar social behaviors, have large body sizes, and possess similar skin structures. In contrast, pinnipeds are more adapted to a marine lifestyle with features like flippers and a streamlined body, which contrasts with the manatee's more terrestrial-like characteristics.
