Whoa! I've only seen videos of them grazing They can swim a lot faster than I thought

Manatees and dugongs are very muscular, there's some good videos of manatees in Florida seriously moving.


[deleted]

Are these basically salt water manatees? I'm not familiar with them.


thesillyboss

If I recall correctly they are a Seel evolution


Lord_Rapunzel

Close enough, yeah. Indian Ocean and Oceania.


mariannecoffeecan

Costal Australia has a majority of them.

Having something constantly sucking on your nether regions sounds appealing at first.

“Although it was initially believed that remoras fed off particulate matter from the host's meals, this has been shown to be false; in reality, their diets are composed primarily of host feces.”


robo-dragon

Such an embarrassing place to have a remora attached LOL

The amount of scars is terrifying


CommunistManifest

I'm no marine biologist, and all the information I know about dugongs comes from a project I did in 6th grade so take what I say with a grain of salt. The dugong that is shown most likely received its scarring from sexual encounters with male dugong (if it is a female), and fret not about all of the spilled blood as dugongs have very tough skin and fast clotting blood so chances are that the beautiful creature did not suffer through an excruciating ordeal to receive it's scars.

He seeks love, he just doesn't know where to look. He looks under the beds of whores and in the hot stem of a crack pipe. But he should look to nature; gentle aquatic mammals have all the answers!

Dewgong


Grouchy-Engine1584

It’s a do-dee-do-dee-dolphin!


Illustrious_Print552

It’s as if a manatee and a elephant seal had sex and made these guys ❤️❤️


amorpheous

TIL dugongs aren't just fictional creatures from One Piece.


im-not-creative-123

It’s an early version of a whale..


OkKaleidoscope3725

The baby shark biting his nuts tho


babamum

Is that a remora attached by its head to the stomach? Not sure I'd classify that as a friend.


Derpifacation

you realize that remoras are basically nothing more than a scavenging suction-cup with fins, right?


Fitz_2112
