Dugong dugon is the scientific name for a Dugong.

Dugongs are Phylum Chordata because they possess a notochord at some point in their development, which is a defining characteristic of the phylum. This notochord provides structural support for the body and is present in all chordates at some stage of their life cycle.

Yes. Dugongs are vertebrates.

Female Hippos attain sexual maturity at around 6 years of age. Males reach sexual maturity at around 7.5 years of age. However, males don't get to mate until they are much larger and older. Hippos have a gestation period of around 8 months after which a single hippo calf is born. Baby hippos are born under water and weigh around 25 to 45 kilograms in weight (60 to 110 pounds). They are around 125 cms (50 inches) in length at birth.

Man seeks a good time, but he is not a hedonist! He seeks love, he just doesn't know where to look. He looks under the beds of wh*res and in the hot stem of a crack pipe. But he should look to nature. Gentle aquatic mammals have all the answers!

Yes, a dugong lives in an ocean enviroment.

Yes, they eat about a football field sized amount of grass each day. Making them the largest sea herbivores.

The word comes from Tagalog, and the earlier Malay "duyung" with the meaning "lady of the sea." This is another reference to sailors imagining dugongs or manatees as "mermaids."

Not sure, but i think that tiger sharks eat dugongs.

Nothing eats dugongs, but dugongs eat seagrasses

tiger sharks are natural enemies of dugongs so they can get killed by them.

Crocodiles, Sharks, Killer Whales. Aboriginal People hunt them for meat and oil because it's their "hunting right". Hope this helped. :)

Dugongs are mammals, and mammals CANNOT BREATHE UNDERWATER, but they can hold their breath for a few minutes.

Dugongs have similar adaptations to whales and dolphins. They look rather like rotund grey-brown dolphins with a fish-like shape, flippers and tails and grow up to three metres long and weigh up to 400kg. Their skin is thick and smooth, with the nostrils near the front of the head enabling them to breath with most of the body beneath the surface. Unlike other mammals, dugongs cannot hold their breath under water for very long. The adaptation is their heavy bones so that they can stay underwater and also their liver, as it removes all of the salt from the plants it eats. Its snout is turned downwards. This adaptation helps the dugong extract its food from the ground.

Through special nostrils. The nostrils of a dugong are closed when submerged in water, and since a dugong is a mammal, it cannot breathe oxygen from inside the water. When they want to breathe, they push their nostrils above the water surface, when they're underwater, nostrils are shut to prevent water from entering.

becuse of their tails or mouths

Yes. Dugongs and manatees are marine mammals but unlike dolphins they are herbivores. Dugongs subsist on sea grass.

no, a dugong is a herbivore

Yes of course they are.Dugongs (DEW.gonGs) are being killed by boats, suffocation of nets, loss of habitat and destruction of breeding grounds.

They are also being hunted for there edible flesh.

Endangered -- VERY endangered

Yes. Dugong are marine mammals, and all mammals have skin. Dugong are not related to fish, which have scales.

They are hunted for their fleash and blubber and to make oil

very carefully
