Animal Facts:
The dugong (Dugong dugon), often called the "sea cow," is a gentle marine mammal known for its love of seagrass. With a round, fusiform body and a dolphin-like tail, this herbivore glides gracefully through the shallow, warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to Australia.
Dugongs are closely related to manatees but can be distinguished by their unique tail and sharply downturned snout, perfect for grazing on underwater meadows. Despite their large size—up to 900 kg (2,000 lbs) and 3 meters (10 feet) long—dugongs are shy and peaceful creatures, often seen alone or in pairs.
These "mermaids of the sea" have inspired myths and legends, but their numbers are declining due to habitat loss, hunting, and fishing net entanglements. Listed as vulnerable, dugongs have a long lifespan of over 70 years but reproduce slowly, making their conservation a critical challenge.
Fun fact: Dugongs leave "seagrass trails" behind them as they feast, creating a natural underwater garden!
