A synthesis of the ecological and related knowledge pertinent to understanding the biology and conservation of dugongs and manatees.
A beautifully illustrated, lyrical and informative story about dugongs, one of our most unique endangered animals. Ideal for anyone with an interest in marine life and the environment, and an excellent teaching resource. There are not many dugongs left in the world now. But what if humans freed the sea from nets? What if we cleared it of rubbish so that seagrass could flourish again and dugongs could feed? A beautiful and thought-provoking picture book about dugongs - the mysterious creatures who were once mistaken for mermaids. Deborah's Kelly's beautiful, lyrical writing brings these animals to life, and highlights the dangers they face, inspiring young readers to care for and protect our natural world. Lisa Stewart's gorgeous illustrations capture the beauty of these gentle and endangered creatures.
The Dugong is a strange-looking marine mammal. No, it's not a fish, even though it lives in the sea. As mammals, they belong to the same order as humans. Also, since they are not a fish, a Dugong can't breathe underwater. Because of its size, shape and behavior, the Dugong is called by so many names. Some call it a sea cow, some call it a sea pig, and still, some call it a sea camel. The most popular name for it, however, is sea cow. As one of the most amazing sea creatures on the planet, you might want to get to know this animal better. The world is full of beautiful creatures - and the Dugong is just one of them.
Describes the physical characteristics, natural habitat, behavior, diet, and world distribution of komodo dugongs.
The dugong (Dugong dugon) is the only herbivorous mammal that is strictly marine. It has a range spanning some 37 countries, including tropical and subtropical coastal and island waters. This plan presents a global overview of the status of the dugong and its management throughout its range. It contains information on dugong distribution and abundance, threatening processes, legislation, and existing and suggested research and management initiatives for the countries and territories in the dugong’s known range. It is hoped that the comparative information provided will enable individual countries to develop their own, more detailed, conservation plans.
