"Mermaid" is hard to see in China
Some people think mermaid tale comes from a real animal called dugong. Dugongs live in the South China Sea. But for the past 14 years,no one saw it. If this goes on,the animal may go extinct in China.
Do you know dugong?
* It has a round head.
* It is large. It is 2 or 3 metres long.
* Its tail looks like a whale's. It breathes out of the water by "standing" on its tail.
* It only eats seagrass. It can eat 40 to 50 kilograms of seagrass every day.
What makes the animal's number go down?
They can't find enough seagrass to eat. That's because ...
* People put dirty water into the sea. It's bad for seagrass.
* Too much fishing and sailing make the seagrass stop growing.
Don't worry too much.
Chinese scientists are trying to protect the animals. They hope that we can see dugongs five years later.
