The Dugong

The fascinating Dugong is one of the weirdest-looking animals. It has a large, heavy body, with a large head and a flattened tail. Its body is covered with a thick layer of grey-brown fur. Its face is round with a snout-like nose and round, dark eyes. Their flippers are paddle-like, and it has a large, fleshy fin running along the length of its back. They have thick, leathery skin, which helps it to move quickly through the water. It is an excellent swimmer and can dive up to 30 meters.
