<p>Hi. Any good dugong illustration?</p>
I’ve found a few and posted a couple and there are more in the queue. I’ll tag them all:

If you ever wondered what dugong tasted like here’s a description:
“The meat is excellent; roasted, I could not have distinguished it from good, but rather tough beefsteak. It had none of the peculiar flavour of whale-meat. Moreover, it has the same quality as that assigned, both by the old voyagers and by modern observers, to the flesh of the American Manatees — it keeps good for a considerable time, for at least three days in hot weather, during which mutton goes bad in twenty-four hours. The blubber is not made into oil at Kilakarai.”
