Baby dugongs are born after a gestation period of about 13 to 14 months. The mother typically gives birth to a single calf in shallow waters, where the calf can easily reach the surface to breathe. After birth, the mother helps the calf to swim and encourages it to start feeding on seagrass, which is their primary diet. The calf stays close to the mother for protection and nourishment during its early months.
