Dugongs have whiskers, or tactile hairs, primarily for sensory purposes. These whiskers help them navigate and find food in their underwater environment, allowing them to detect subtle changes in their surroundings, especially in murky waters where visibility is low. The whiskers enhance their ability to forage for seagrass, their primary diet, by providing tactile feedback as they graze along the ocean floor.
