There is a variety of ways to tell a male manatee from a female manatee. Females are generally larger than males as they have to give birth to a 3ft., 80lb. calf (average size for a baby manatee). Female manatees can get up to 3500lbs., and 10ft. in length, while males are generally in the 9ft range and 1200-1800lbs. The main way you can tell manatees appart is, just like humans, the location of the genitals. In male manatees, the genital opening is located on the underbelly of the animal right below the navel. This makes the anal opening, and genital opening farther appart. In female manatees, also on the underbelly, the genital opening is right above the anus; openings are closer together. If you can see the underside of the manatee, and locate these openings then you have the easiest way to tell the sex of a manatee.
