Meet Duncan!
Dugongs have a very special place in my heart and this little guy is something I have been wanting to make for a while. His name is Duncan, he loves lazing and eating sea grass off the sea floor in Moreton Bay (QLD). Did you know these beautiful sea cows are considered vulnerable to extinction because of negative changes in habitat due to pollution leading to less sea grass growth and hunting. Dugongs also have long gestation periods(12-24 months) and only give live birth to one calf, their pregnancies are also usually 3-7 years apart so conservation efforts are severely needed in order to keep these beautiful animals alive. I always love going to see #pigthedugong I went when I was around 8 years old and absolutely loved him. Since then I have made an effort to visit the other times I’ve gone to Sydney.
