(DOO-gong) The Dugong is very similar to the Manatee, but is different. Physically, one difference is the shape of the tail. It is notched like the fin of a whale rather than the rounded tail of the manatee. Also, Dugongs live in different regions in the world's waters than the Manatee - Dugongs live in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, whereas Manatees live in the coastal regions of southeastern United States down to central South America and western tropical Africa. An interesting under water mammal!
