Fossil Sirenians are found in many parts of the world that no longer support living species, indicating that Sirenians used to have a much greater distribution than they do today. In addition, there used to be many more species of Sirenia than there are today.

   Are dugongs the same as sea cows?

   • The only other species known in the family Dugongidae is Hydrodamalis gigas (Steller’s sea cow), hunted to extinction in 1767, just 36 years after their discovery. They were similar in appearance and color to dugongs but were substantially larger, with a body length of 7 to 10 m and weight between 4,500 and 5,900 kg.

   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).

Ensuring that the law is adhered to will help dugongs survive. ¥ DonÕt leave fishing nets or other fishing gear unattended especially overnight. ¥ If a dugong is found in a net, release it immediately.
