 Snipes, Robert L. (detail)
   
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.
