Nursing Manatees have the nipple on the dorsal-front surface of the front flipper, basically in the center of the "chest". It roughly corresponds to the position of a woman's breasts. If you are a sailor and you are trying to hassle the new lubbers, you can point overboard at the "mermaid's boobies" and then laugh uproariously when the lubbers actually look.
