In the Philippines, there's an "alamat" or a myth that dugongs are peaceful people that were stuck on a boat in the middle of the sea escaping from an attack from another tribe and became "mermaids", aka the dugongs. 😉

So a seal evolves into a sea cow. Fantastic work GameFreak.

The most closely related land animals that seals, sea lions, and the walrus are related to are dogs. Pinnipeds even evolved from them. The most closely related land animals that manatees and dugongs are related to are actually elephants.

Kudos to Abu Dhabi Environment Agency headed by Secretary General Majid Al Mansouri for taking into account the conservation and protection of the gentle mammals of the sea. Keep up the good work Sir. I will do the same here in my Province at Leyte, Philippines should the population of these sea mammals will migrate/converge here in our waters by putting up a policy to declare the area as a sanctuary thereby educating also our populace the importance of these animals in the marine environment.....Mabuhay po kayo Sec Gen Mansouri!!!

I love how this video is entitled 'What is a dugong', but makes no attempt to answer that question. No discussion of it's kindred species or evolution. It is important to know how humans affect the environment and the creatures that inhabit it, but when I see 'What is a dugong', I expect more than just an environmental impact piece.

Dugong is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon. It evolves from Seel starting at level 34.

Dugong is extinct in china, so sad for this gentle cute animal

Today is the first time I've ever heard of or seen a Dugong! 😍

Looks like a cross between a manatee and an elephant with a small trunk. So cute!

You can find these in the Andaman Islands as well (North Button National Park, for instance).

It's a giant tardigrade

So sad that they’re now “functionally extinct.”

Thank u for dugong protection

very great full to those people who do something for animals im relieve

Wow !!! Very nice!

Lmaooo i remember people seeing just its tail and were like “OMG ITS A MERMAID”

It’s great to know that the Arab government is actively educating kids on the importance of caring for marine life & are working to repair the damage caused by economic construction & expansion. A lesson China continues to fail, due to a lack of empathy & education of environmental concerns.

Dugong is famous to our country Phillipines its also known as a sea cow

Sleeping" is done in short bursts. Much like many marine animals - such as dolphins - dugongs never fall asleep completely the way humans do. Their "sleep" is more like a trance or a doze during which they rest parts of their brain but are never completely unconscious.

One of my teachers called me a dugong before.......

Please make a video on Sarus Crane...

have to agree

Finally someone who understands :D

Dugongs are also found off the coast of North Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

3:54 could someone please let me know the name of this area? I have a project and I need to include a map.

Can't help it ~ I'm an educator at heart.

Humans are great..

Also...Dugong is also located in Malaysia of all places

12 years ago.. Nobody thought they'd be declared extinct. 😢

10 years later, we go from 2,000 to 3,000 and now 200 to 250 in 2023. Such a cool creature, such a sad story.
