Dugongs: Real-Life Mermaids of the Sea

Описание: Often mistaken for mermaids by ancient sailors, dugongs are among the most elusive and enchanting marine mammals on the planet. As the only surviving member of the Dugongidae family, the dugong stands alone in the oceans of the Indo-Pacific. Unlike manatees, dugongs are entirely marine and feed exclusively on seagrass.

This video explores the world of Dugong dugon, tracing their coastal range and offering a rare glimpse into the life of this gentle giant. From their evolutionary links to the extinct Steller's sea cow to their modern-day challenges, the dugong’s story is one of survival, adaptation and intrigue beneath the waves.
