Anyone for Lettuce?
Crazy about dugongs? Animal Girl Magazine comes down private with Sophie Palka and find out more about dugongs at Sydney Aquarium. Here's what we found out:
Pig and Wuru,were orphans! They were found bring washed-up in different beaches in Queensland.Pig,a 12 year old male dugong were separated from his mother at a very young age and was found in Forrest Island,North Queensland.Wuru,a 6 year old female dugong was also separated by her mother and was found washed up at Emu Park,near Rockhampton. Pig was released back into the wild after a period of rehabillation but was found washed up again.So a decision was made NOT to release him again for fears he wouldn't survive in the wild.Both dugongs were raised to be juveniles at Sea World on the Gold Coast. They now reside at Sydney Aquarium! Awww!! So sweet! They rat alot of lettuces and stay tuned for the secret of what their "human friend" who works there,Andrew Barnes wrap into their lettuceses!!
