Dugong (Dugong dugon) swimming underwater, Coron Island, Phillipines.

Описание: Commonly known as "sea cows," dugongs are cousins of manatees and share a similar plump appearance, but have a dolphin fluke-like tail. And unlike manatees, which use freshwater areas, the dugong is strictly a marine mammal.

These slow-moving giants graze peacefully on sea grasses in shallow coastal waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, including the shallow coastal waters of northern Australia.
