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.”
