Dugongs are animals that live in shallow waters. They live in at least 37 countries and territories around the world. They are big marine mammals and was almost hunted to extinction in the 18th century. The dugong is a strict herbivore, meaning they only eat plants. It has a snout like a pig and a tail like a dolphin. However the snout goes downwards like a metal detector but in this case the dugong's nose is a food detector. The dugong is not a well known animal, which may be one of the reasons that it is endangered. Have you ever heard of the dugong? If, so where and where? Did you no that the dugong is endangered?
