It is rare to see a dugong, a threatened sea mammal, in southern Thailand’s shallow waters. But thanks to travel restrictions that have left popular travel spots empty, a large group of them recently made their presence known. Drone video released this week by Thailand’s Department of National Parks shows about 30 dugongs off Libong island. The animals were feeding on sea grass. Every so often, they came up to the surface of the water to breathe.
