I am trying to work on a wishlist for my synoptic collection but I am stumped when it comes to manatees. Does anyone know the species (Amazonian, West-Indian, or African) of the CollectA, newer Papo, and Schleich manatees? Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure they are all West Indian, but you could probably choose your own for each based on morphologies

I have all mine currently as West Indian but hopefully when Schleich release photos of their 2021 figure I can have an Amazonian or African in my collection depending on its snout

Oh yes, I forgot Schleich was releasing one this year. I think then I will pick the Papo as my West-Indian and hope that the Schleich one better matches another species :) Thank you both for your help!

The Maia & Borges one (I think Schleich, Papo and Mojö also once distributed it) seems to be an Amazonian manatee judging from the longer snout and lack of nails on its flippers.
All others by Papo, Bullyland, Schleich and Safari Ltd. are the North American manatee which is a bit of a disappointment.
I had a bit of hope for the new Schleich one being the West African manatee but the more I look at it the more clear it becomes, it is a North American one like the rest, the short body alone tells.
