Mosaic plot of patterns in the sightings of live manatees.
Live manatee sightings in rivers and coast & estuaries are most frequent in the evenings of the rainy season (Ry). In lakes, however, manatees seem to have a diurnal activity pattern in the morning of both seasons (Dy and Ry) and the midday-to- afternoon period of the dry season (Dy) as opposed to crepuscular-to-nocturnal activity pattern in the rainy season (Ry).
