the dugong has had nothing that has been done to help

the reasons they are endangered are

killed by boats, suffication of nets, lost of habitat and eatble flesh

It is seawatercrocodiles and fisherman and yerrr hope u find some more out xo;;:D

They have a lifespan similar to that of humans, approx. 70 years.

Dugong live and graze in the coastal kelp beds of the Ocean

The dugongs life cycle is its birth stage, calf stage and adult stage. The dugong is called a calf between 12 to 70 years of age and when its born it weighs 25kg to 35kg and is about a netre in length. The female dugong then has a baby which happens every 3-7 years. Its lifespan is 70years of age so once it reaches it, it could live for longer or die.

they dont i swam with them before and the water was freezing!

we can save the dolphins by telling the people that dolphins is our friend and she do not hurt us

how do dugongs communicate with other animals and humans

The dugong (Dugong dugon) is the only living species of the family Dugongidae (following the 18th century extinction of Steller's Sea Cow) and together with the three species of manatee forms the aquatic mammalian order Sirenia. While all sirenians are herbivores, manatees use fresh water freely, making the dugong the only strictly-marine herbivorous mammal. It is the only sirenian in its range, which spans the shallow waters of at least 37 countries and territories in the Indo-Pacific; however, the majority of dugongs live in the northern waters of Australia between Shark Bay and Moreton Bay. Its historic range is believed to correspond to that of certain seagrasses, which the dugong is specialized towards. Like all sirenians, the dugong has a fusiform body with paddle-like forelimbs and no dorsal fin or hindlimbs. It is easily distinguished from the manatees by its fluked, dolphin-like tail, but also possesses a unique skull and teeth. The dugong grows two incisors (tusks) which are largest in males, and unlike the manatees, its teeth do not continually grow back via horizontal tooth replacement. The IUCN lists the dugong as a species vulnerable to extinction. The primary causes for population declines are anthropogenic, and include hunting, habitat degradation, and fishing-related fatalities. With its long lifespan and slow rate of reproduction, the dugong is especially vulnerable to these types of exploitation. In addition, dugongs are threatened by storms, parasites, and their natural predators, sharks, Killer Whales, and crocodiles. The name dugong originated from the Malay language duyung meaning lady of the sea or mermaid.

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.

We can protect them by Less water pollution, Lack of fishing in the ocean, Reduce the number of Boats we send out and less flesh eating mammals we have in the ocean.

no.

A dugong belongs to the kingdom Animalia.

• Be on the look out for dugong when you're in areas that they are known to inhabit or feed (for example, Dugong Protection Areas and shallow seagrass beds).
• Slow down your vessel to a no-wake speed (less than 10 knots) in these areas.
• Anchor away from seagrass beds where possible.
• Communicate with any other vessels in the vicinity of a dugong to avoid unduly disturbing it.
• Do not approach in a vessel closer than 50 metres of a dugong- if a dugong appears closer than 50 metres, move away from it very slowly.
• Do not approach in an aircraft within 300 metres altitude or within 300 metres horizontal radius of a dugong.
• Do not swim, dive or get in the water with a dugong.
• Do not feed, touch, grab, chase or harass a dugong.
• Avoid making loud noises and sudden movements when around dugong.
• Never separate a female dugong from her calf.
• Brief your passengers on the appropriate behaviour and legal requirements for the protection of dugong. Ensure you have appropriately trained or experienced staff to conduct the briefings.
• Ensure a staff member is monitoring the dugong's behaviour.
• Provide information about dugong in your onboard interpretation.

Manatees and dugongs are in the order Sirenia. The word Sirenia comes from the Greek word siren, which means mermaid, but they are not necessarily mermaids. Columbus, on his voyage, wrote in his logbook that he had seen mermaids, but not necessarily as beautiful as what people thought they'd be. Nowadays, we think that he'd probably seen manatees,

The blow hole has moved back over time. Scientists believe that the blow hole used to be where the nose is for us. Now it is father back.

Their eyes are adapted to land and water.

Just the one, Dugong dugon. However the dugong is closely related to the manatees, of which there are 3 species.

A dugong calf can weigh as much as 35 kilograms when it is born. This marine mammal is found in many oceans throughout the world.

Dugongs bear one calf at a time after an approximately 13-month gestation. The calf nurses for two years and reaches sexual maturity between the ages of 8-18, longer than in most other mammals. Despite the longevity of the Dugong, which may live for fifty years or more, females give birth only a few times during their life and invest considerable parental care in their young.
