Description: Dugongs, sometimes referred to as ‘sea cows’, are marine mammals. They
belong to the Family Dugongidae. These large grey aquatic mammals have
rounded heads, small eyes and a large snout.
Dugong has been listed as specie which is vulnerable to extinction. In
spite of being legally protected in various countries, there has been a
remarkable drop in the number of the dugongs. The reasons for this
decline in population are mainly man-made like indiscriminate hunting,
fish-related fatalities and habitat degradation.
In Australia, dugongs are present in Western Australia, North Coast from
Daly River to Milingimbi and Urban Coast of Queensland.
