Which of these sea mammals is also known as the sea cow?
-
Dugong
-
Dolphin
-
Duck-billed platypus

Dungeness crab
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Dugong". The dugong is a large marine mammal that is closely related to manatees, and it is sometimes called a sea cow because, like manatees, it is herbivorous and primarily feeds on seagrass. Dugongs are slow-moving, herbivorous marine creatures found in the warm coastal waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. They are known for their gentle nature and are often associated with the nickname "sea cow" due to their grazing habits and general appearance.
