Sirenians have a very slow reproductive rate, which is a factor in their declining numbers. Females bear a single calf at a time, and wait at least 2 years and sometimes several before producing again. A calf nurses for up to 2 years, during which time it learns food sources and migration routes from its attentive mother.
