HISTORICAL LITERATURE. — The African manatee was first listed for Togo by Matschie (1893a, b).
ORIGINAL DATA. — The manatee is currently known from Lake Togo and Mono River ( Fig. 29), along the last 100 km of Mono River course which constitute the border between Togo and Benin. In Lake Togo, there are two strongholds: the first at the junction between the lake and the Zio River (Amedehoeve area) and the second at the junction between the lake an the River Haho ( Segniagbeto et al. 2007; Mallon et al. 2015).
