   The dugong (Dugong dugon), is a seagrass-dependant marine mammal of tropical and subtropical coastal waters, with high genetic biodiversity value. It is the sole member of the genus Dugong, which is the only extant member of the Family Dugongidae (UNEP, 2002; Bryden et al. 1998).

   shall investigate most carefully whether or not the animal belongs to species of cetacean genera Orcaella or Neophocaena. In March 1979, an animal belonging to the latter genus was misidentified by local people in western Kyushu as a dead dugong. The third factor influences dugong distribution may be the ocean current.

   Dugong dugon is the only extant species of the family Dugongidae, and one of only four extant species of the Sirenia order, the others forming the manatee family. [13] It was first classified by Müller in 1776 as Trichechus dugon, [14] a member of the manatee genus previously defined by Linnaeus. [15]

   Is a dugong a manatee?

   • It is the sole member of the genus Dugong, which is the only extant member of the Family Dugongidae (UNEP, 2002; Bryden et al. 1998). The Dugongidae shares the Order Sirenia with just three species of manatee. Hence, the dugong’s genes are more unique than those of most species, which, more typically, have genera and Family-level relatives.

   How old is a dugong?

   • Dugongs are long-lived, and the oldest recorded specimen reached age 73. They have few natural predators, although animals such as crocodiles, killer whales, and sharks pose a threat to the young, and a dugong has also been recorded to have died from trauma after being impaled by a stingray barb.

   Are dugongs omnivorous?

   • Dugongs in Moreton Bay, Australia, are omnivorous, feeding on invertebrates such as polychaetes or marine algae when the supply of their choice grasses decreases. In other southern areas of both western and eastern Australia, there is evidence that dugongs actively seek out large invertebrates.

   Are dugongs eutherians?

   • Dugongs and elephants share a monophyletic group with hyraxes and the aardvark, one of the earliest offshoots of eutherians. The fossil record shows sirenians appearing in the Eocene, where they most likely lived in the Tethys Ocean.

   Why are dugongs so unique?

   • Hence, the dugong’s genes are more unique than those of most species, which, more typically, have genera and Family-level relatives. The dugong is also one of a suite of large, long-lived marine vertebrates, including turtles and inshore cetaceans, which are under pressure from human activities (Preen, 1998).
