Sea manatees are the cows of the ocean

Sea manatees, more commonly known as dugongs, are marine mammals that inhabit warm coastal waters from East Africa to Australia, including the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and the Pacific. These herbivorous creatures have robust bodies, paddle-like tails, and unique elongated snouts. Dugongs are closely related to manatees but have distinct anatomical differences, such as a dolphin-like fluke instead of a rounded tail. They graze on seagrasses and play a crucial role in maintaining the health of coastal ecosystems.
