Bangkok: A round-the-clock webcast starring two beloved baby dugongs in Thailand named Mariam and Jamil has went live, allowing a more in-depth look at the celebrity sea cows.

Mariam captured hearts in viral social media posts last month showing her playfully nuzzling up to rescuers in shallow waters off southwestern Thailand, while Jamil washed ashore further up the coast a week ago.
