The dugong can live up to 70 years or more, weighing around 400kg and around 3 meters long. Due to their slow rate of reproduction and degradation of habitat, they are vulnerable to extinction.Just like the cows on land, the dugong also known as the sea cow spends most of their day grazing on the sea grass on the shallow sandy sea beds at depth of 5-9 meters. They can eat up to 40kg of seagrass daily!
