Avian sebokeratocytes and marine mammal lipokeratinocytes: structural, lipid biochemical, and functional considerations.
Amer. Jour. Anat. 180(2): 161-177. 5 tabs. 15 figs.
–Birds, cetaceans, and manatees, in contrast to terrestrial mammals, were found to have abundant intracellular lipid droplets in the epidermis, but manatees (in contrast to cetaceans) lack these in the stratum corneum and resemble terrestrial mammals in replacing glycolipids with ceramides in the stratum corneum. The manatee studied is said to have been T. manatus, but since the sample was apparently obtained from the California Academy of Sciences, it may have been T. inunguis.
