Endangered Species Day- Dugong at Aldabra Atoll

Incredible footage of a dugong in the lagoon at Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles.  There is only a small population of dugong remaining in Seychelles and are currently only know at Aldabra.  These marine mammals are usually very shy but this individual allowed SIF staff to approach closely allowing them to get this fantastic footage.  Dugongs are one of the many wonders at this UNESCO World Heritage Site! Many thanks to Daig Romain for allowing us to share this footage.
