Duuude, how ya doing? Wanna know a thing or two about dugongs? Ya came to the right place. We dugongs belong to the same family as manatees and we're nicknamed "sea cows" because we're big and eat plants. We have a tail with flukes, like a dolphin's tail, and we make squeaks and other sounds to communicate. Did you know sailors used to think we were mermaids? Puh-lease, how bogus is that, dude? XD
