It is like whales, who once lived on land, when the continent turned into an ocean, they also adapted to life in the sea. The environment changes, their bodies change into fish-like limbs before the fins, the posterior limbs degenerate, animal tails turn into fishtail. But the female's breasts are still full as before: When breast-feeding, Dugong's pectoral mother is a front limb, a baby hug, a swim for the body to be exposed from the water so that she can suckle and breathe.

Dugong each time having a child . The offspring knew how to swim right away with their mothers until they could fully earn their living.

Dugong lives in shallow bays, sometimes deep in rivers. They eat sea plants, often concentrated into large flocks. They often show up on the water in the early morning or sunset. Daytime rest at shallow sea bottom about 30-40m.

Dugong is distributed in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. It has both high economic value and ornamental fish.
