The manatee mind: discrimination training for sensory perception testing of West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus).
Marine Mammals: Public Display and Research 1(1): 10-21. 3 figs. Spring 1994.
–Preliminary description of hearing experiments on Florida manatees at the Lowry Park Zoo, Tampa, and the South FLorida Museum, Bradenton, with observations on visual and tactile perception, aggressive and sexual behavior, training techniques, rates of learning, memory, and "gamesmanship" in interactions with trainers. Concludes that manatees can understand discrimination tasks and demonstrate complex associated learning and long-term memory, on a par with dolphins and pinnipeds.
