   Size allometry of the dugong has been studied by Spain & Heinsohn (1975) based on a sample of 53 specimens taken near Townsville, northern Australia. Most of the 37 characters analysed showed near-isometric growth, although, as might be expected, negatively allometric growth trends were evident in certain anterior parts of the body.

   ,age length of the dugong much too high (e. g., Brown, 20 feet), and indeed all the measurements examined showA (cf. Raffles, Owen, Rtippel, Klunzinger) that the dugong does not exceed 3' meters in length (see also Finsch). In this, Rapp (8 to 10 feet) and Fairholme likewise agree. The statement of Brehm, 3 to 5 meters, is thus somewhat ...

   Jan 1, 2018 · A dugong looks rather like a cross between a rotund dolphin and a walrus (Fig. 1). Its head looks somewhat like that of a walrus without the long tusks. Its body, flippers, and fluke resemble those of a dolphin without a dorsal fin. Dugongs surface very discreetly, often with only their nostrils showing above the water.

   Jan 1, 2009 · The dugong (Dugong dugon) looks like a cross between a rotund dolphin and a walrus. Its body, flippers, and fluke resemble those of a dolphin without a dorsal fin. Dugongs can be difficult to distinguish from dolphins in the wild. Adults are gray in color but often appear brown from the air or from a boat.

   How do dugongs differ from dolphins?

   • Dugongs and dolphins can be difficult to distinguish in the wild, especially in muddy water. Dugongs differ from dolphins in their appearance: they surface discreetly, often with only their nostrils showing above the water. Dugongs move more slowly than dolphins and lack a dorsal fin. The dugong's head resembles that of a walrus, but it does not have the long tusks.

   Does a Dugong have a large intestine?

   • Gas samples from the caecum and large intestine contain measurable quantities of hydrogen but no methane (Hungate, 1977, personal communication). In an adult dugong the large intestine is up to 25 m long, about twice as long as the small in- testine. The large intestine grows with positive allometry in relation to body length.
