Dugongs, marine mammals closely related to manatees, primarily face threats from human activities rather than natural predators. Their main enemies include habitat destruction due to coastal development and pollution, as well as hunting in some regions. Additionally, they are susceptible to injuries from boat strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. In some areas, predation by sharks or large crocodiles may occur, but this is relatively rare.
