Dugongs return as tourists stay home.


Drone video footage released by the Department of National Parks shows a 30-strong herd of dugongs in shallow waters off Libong Island in Trang Province, Thailand.
“It’s quite unusual,” marine scientist Thon Thamrongnawasawat told The Associated Press on Thursday when asked about the dugongs. “This species of mammal is very sensitive to speed boats and people. When they are gone, they feel free to gather in a large group and come close to shore.”
