The Dugong, or “Sea Cow”, is a herbivorous marine mammal that is the last representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae. This social, seagrass feeding mammal can live for over 70 years in the wild. However, for anthropogenic reasons, their population is in decline and the Dugong is threatened by extinction. #WildlifeWednesday 🌏 | Science Channel

This is a dugong 🤍 Gentle sea giants that can weigh up to 800 pounds, they are commonly called “sea-cows.” 🐮 Unfortunately, this species is threatened by sea grass habitat loss, which makes up most of their diet. 📹: dive_with_german_girl #seacow #conservation #diving #relaxing #satisfying | Animal Planet
