Dugong (not a manatee)
One of the many things I learned at this years Edinburgh Science Festival was the difference between a dugong and a manatee. I had always thought it was different names for the same animal but it turns out that a dugong has a dolphin-like tail while a manatee has a paddle-like tail.
This picture is of my cuddly toy dugong which I got from Sydney Aquarium. His name is Derek the Dugong (not Michael the Manatee).
