Wow! Have you ever seen an alien skull?! Just kidding! This unusual specimen is a real Dugong skull in the teaching collection of the University of Toronto!
Dugongs are marine mammals found in the Indo-West Pacific. They feed primarily on seagrass and thus are restricted to coastal environments.
They are listed as Vulnerable by CITES as their population is at risk from fishing-related activities, hunting, and habitat destruction, coupled with a low rate of reproduction.
