Abstract
- The article reports that the Australian scientists are uncovering the truth about mysterious creatures. Recent figures suggest there are at least 15,000 of these enigmatic marine mammals. Similar to many herbivores, dugongs cope with this difficult-to-digest plant matter with a very long, bacteria-filled intestine. There's a common assumption that dugongs are strict vegetarians.
