A rare Dugong was photographed alive using a drone camera in the Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat.
The Dugong is one of only four extant species of Sirenia sea cow.
It is the only herbivorous mammal that is exclusively dependent on the seagrass habitat.
The Dugong is protected under Schedule list I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and is also listed in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
