Paper abstract bibtex Sirenians or sea cows include manatees (Trichechidae), comprising three species, and the Dugongidae, with a single species, the dugong. Sirenians derive their name from mermaids of Greek mythology, known as sirens. Although clearly not the original sirens discussed in the classic poem¡em¿The Odyssey¡/em¿, as the Greeks are unlikely to have encountered manatees or dugongs, early accounts of Columbus on a voyage in the Caribbean in 1493 described manatees as “sirens.” Sirenians are unique among living marine mammals by having an herbivorous diet, feeding almost entirely on aquatic plants. Like whales, they are totally aquatic but their ancestors had four
