A marine mammal Dugong dugong of the order
Sirenia (sea cows), found in the Red Sea, the
Indian Ocean and W Pacific. It can grow to
3.6 m/11 ft long, and has a tapering body
with a notched tail and two fore-flippers. It
is herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and
seaweeds. It may have given rise to the
mermaid myth.
