REMARKS

Dugongs grow to about 3m long, can weigh 400kg and live to 70 years old.

Dugongs are more closely related to elephants than they are to other marine mammals such as whales or dolphins.

Dugongs have a single calf when they are between 6-17 years old and have calves once every 2.5 - 5 years.

How do Fish See
Fish have eyes very similar to a human, but not all have excellent colour vision. Shallow water fish, especially tropical fish, can see a broad spectrum of colours, however deep water fish are usually quite limited. Fish's eyes are positioned to allow excellent all round viewing, but some have their eyes on top of their heads, as they have a bottom dwelling existence.
