The dugong (Dugong dugon) is a medium-sized marine mammal. It is one of four living species of the order Sirenia, which also includes three species of manatees. Dugong dugon is the only living representative of the once-diverse family Dugongidae; its closest modern relative, Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), was hunted to extinction in the 18th century. Dugongs are the only strictly marine herbivorous mammal. Order: Sirenia, Family: Dugongidae, Subfamily: Dugonginae, Genus: Dugong, Species: Dugong dugon (Müller, 1776)
