Dugongs and Manatees are NOT the same. The most obvious physical difference between the two is the tail. Manatee's have a flat, disk shaped tail whilst dugongs have a fluked tail that looks like a dolphin tail.
I think the reason why many you know a sea-cow to be a manatee is because that is an Atlantic/Caribbean creature, whereas the dugong is and Indo-Pacific creature.
Where I live I've only known dugongs and was excited to see this in the quiz.
I've also never connected dogs of any sort with fire stations, and I'm a volunteer firefighter. I just guessed away at dog breeds that start with D, but I still didn't get it.
it takes 2 seconds to search what a dugong is, it's not that difficult. Just because you haven't heard of it in your country doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
