In warm water, there is a kind of sea mammal1 called dugongs. They live a comfortable life. They have no natural enemies and never fight2.Dugongs lived in the oceans during the age of dinosaurs. They have funny faces and no front teeth! Their teeth grow only along the sides of their mouth. Some think they are ugly. Only their mothers may love them, but as we know, they are important and helpful for us!
Dugongs only eat plants. They swim slowly so that they can eat the sea grass. They often dig down into the sand and eat sea-grass roots. Dugongs relax during the day. During most of the night, they eat. They eat noisily and you can often hear the sounds of their chomping teeth.
Dugongs give birth to only one baby every three to five years. They take the newborn baby to the surface of the water so that the baby can take its first breath of air. It stays with its mother for two years and sometimes rests on its mother’s back. Dugongs feed their young with milk.
Dugongs can live for about 60 years, but every year more and more people move to near the warm coasts and rivers which are also the homes to dugongs. They have fewer places to live and feed.
