Manatee mating information:
1. Male manatees (bulls) are probably sexually mature at about nine to ten years.
2. Female manatees (cows) are probably sexually mature by about seven to eight years.
3. As manatee aging studies progress, sexual maturity may be estimated more precisely.
4. Although females are usually larger than males, it's generally impossible to tell the sex of an individual without observing the underside. There's no marked sexual dimorphism other than the position of the genital openings. a. The female's genital opening is located just in front of the anus. The genital opening is closer to the tail in the female. Two additional ways to identify a female are the presence of a suckling calf, or an extremely round appearance during pregnancy.
b. The male's genital opening lies just behind the umbilicus (navel), about midway down the body.
