hahaha…
I guess I was being redundant…...That`s how we were taught to call them in the NoHe…

It was still shorter than saying “egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal “

Or calling them; “Natures leftovers”, haha and to answer the original Q I have seen a few (kinda underwhelming, but dont tell them).

Does seeing one in the zoo count. They are very hard to spot in nature.

i’ve recently found out about the existence of a creature similar to a sea cow called a dugong.  has anyone else heard of them or even better seen one?

I have seen one not too far from my house whilst out hunting for trout.
There is a website to report where and when you have seen them, I did the right thing and reported, you should see all the stuff they sent me.

I feel like one of Steve Irwin’s (RIP) Wildlife Warriors.

Now the sea cow & dugong are the same thing? are they not? I have seen one at Seaworld.
