Difference between Marine mammal and Sirenia

Marine mammal vs. Sirenia

Marine mammals are aquatic mammals that rely on the ocean and other marine ecosystems for their existence. The Sirenia, commonly referred to as sea cows or sirenians, are an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit swamps, rivers, estuaries, marine wetlands, and coastal marine waters.
