| 1984 | Anatomy of the cecum of the West Indian manatee, Trichechus manatus (Mammalia, Sirenia). Zoomorphology (Berlin) 104(2): 67-78. 2 tabs. 10 figs. Mar. 1984. –Describes the gross and microscopic anatomy of the cecum; notes keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, perhaps a protection against bulky roughage; considers manatees to be colon rather than cecum fermenters, but their fermentation is probably incomplete; considers the morphology of their cecum and intestine to be generally primitive. | ||
