BANGKOK: A two-month-old male dugong found at Koh Poda in Krabi province died on Wednesday (Aug 28) despite 18 days of intense efforts by veterinarians to nurse it back to health.
The young sea mammal, which was spotted alone off the island in Krabi on Aug 10, was believed to have been left behind by the herd. Officials from the Marine and Coastal Resources Department promptly brought it to Rajamangala Aquatic Animal Hospital in Trang province for treatment.
