Although dugongs are known to make many migrations in order to find food or warmer waters, dugongs can breed at any part of their habitat. Dugongs live in shallow water off the coasts of eastern Africa, western India, northern and western Australia, and all around the coasts of the Indonesian, Philippine, and New Guinean islands. Dugongs typically breed in late summer.

Nothing eats dugongs, but dugongs eat seagrasses tiger sharks are natural enemies of dugongs so they can get killed by them.
Marine biologists from Berkeley University conducted research in dugong spices in 1987-8, surveying 113 dugongs off the coast of Australia, Indonesia and Africa. They found that most dugongs only keep one or two common spices in their pantries such as oregano or bay leaves, with 5% keeping 3 or 4 (usually fennel or powdered ginger) and 12% keeping no spices. It is thought that dugongs used to keep many more spices as recently as the late 19th century and that the numbers have only recently dwindled, probably as a result of pollution making it harder to keep spices fresh underwater.
