Dugongs, also known as sea cows, care for their young by nurturing them closely for an extended period. After giving birth, which typically occurs after a gestation period of about 13 to 14 months, the mother dugong helps her calf to the surface for its first breath. The mother provides milk, which is rich in fat, and remains protective, guiding the calf to seagrass beds for feeding. Calves usually stay with their mothers for up to a year, learning essential survival skills during this time.
