Dugongs do not have distinct male and female names; both sexes are simply referred to as dugongs. Males can be identified by their tusks, which emerge from the upper jaw and are more prominent in adults. Female dugongs typically have larger, broader bodies and can be distinguished by their mammary glands, which are located on their chests. Both sexes are similar in appearance, with a paddle-shaped tail and a streamlined body adapted for life in the water.
