I know this is a forum for fish taxidermy. but since I have not received any answers in the "mammal" category, I thought I would ask here. I'm doing a large sculpture of a Manatee and I need to know what kind of eyes to use for this animal. All the reference photos I see just show a dark eye. It probably doesn't really matter, but I want it right. Any help would be appreciated.

how big are they? ask a biologist for help Im sure that someone has come across this before in some kind of study.
Email tohoickion eyes they may be able to help.
I saw manatees in the wild but never got their eye size looks small compared to other mamals of similar size.
