Dylan's Dugong Page

Have you ever heard of an animal called a dugong? It is like the manatee but smaller. They are going extinct. The dugong can live up 50 years. An adult can be up 13ft. long. It can weigh around 1,984,lbs. The dugong lives in the Red Sea,African and Indian ocean. These herbivores live in groups called ''herds''. They eat Sea grasses and some seaweeds. They are closely related to manatees. It is an endangered species.I think we should all work toggether to help save the dugong.
