Podcasts about Dugong

Coming June 2025 – Conservation Across Africa is a six-episode series in collaboration with African Parks, highlighting the people, partnerships, and protected areas driving one of the most ambitious conservation efforts on the continent.

Though Indian by heritage, Shallu Bhopal embodies the Filipino spirit. She moved to the Philippines at the age of four and was immersed in the culture. While she speaks Punjabi, Hindi, Filipino, and English, it is the warmth and hospitality of the Filipinos that resonates most deeply with her. - Kahit na Indian ang pinagmulang lahi, may pusong Pinoy si Shallu Bhopal. Lumipat siya sa Pilipinas noong siya ay apat na taong gulang at maalam sa wikang Punjabi, Hindi, Ingles at Filipino.

This episode will focus on the story of Jenna Lee, an Asian-Aboriginal artist with Filipino heritage. Find out how she embraces her Filipino and Indigenous Australian identity, as well as her other ancestries, which reflect in her works. - Ang episode na ito ay sesentro sa kwento ni Jenna Lee, isang Asian-Aboriginal artist na may dugong Pinoy. Alamin kung paano niya niyayakap ang pagiging Filipino at Indigenous Australia at iba pa niyang lahi na sumasalamin sa kanyang mga obra.

First we discuss how the term “Gish gallop” has entered the common vernacular thanks to the recent Presidential debate. Then Ben ponders why conspiracy buffs don't care about the admitted, real Boeing conspiracy, or why psychics can't offer up explanations for the Rust killing. Celestia gets excited about folklore in pop culture: namely, “The Crooked Man” in a new Hellboy movie. For our main segment, we are rejoined by skeptical author and illustrator Daniel Loxton, to talk about MONSTER HUNTS!—that is, serious expeditions to find cryptids or other mysterious creatures. From Nazis looking for Yeti to missionaries searching out dinosaurs in Africa, there are anthropological considerations when engaging with locals in a foreign land. And what makes a monster hunt successful? Lock Ness is a success in that practically every drop of water in it has been examined, to no avail. We touch on Ben's trips to remote parts of Nicaragua to look for the chupacabra, as well as other expeditions in the 20th century, to find a death worm in Mongolia, the Mokele-mbembe in Africa, and a mermaid-like Ri in New Guinea. We also touch on overpriced Bigfoot “hunt” experiences as well as “educational hoaxes” like snipe hunting.

Suite et fin la série consacrée aux Siréniens. Les lamantins (les espèces du genre Trichechus, "Manatee" en anglais) ont un estomac simple, mais un grand cæcum, comme les chevaux. Leurs intestins ont une longueur d'environ 45 m, ce qui leur permet de digérer des aliments pauvres et difficiles: plantules de palétuviers, jacinthes d'eau, graminées...Un lamantin peut manger jusqu'à 50 kg de végétaux par jour. La silice contenue dans les plantes qu'il mange provoque l'abrasion des dents. Mais cette usure est compensée par le renouvellement permanent de la dentition du lamantin, comme chez lez rongeurs!Une femelle lamantin peut nourrir deux petits à la fois. Mais c'est rarissime car ces siréniens n'ont en général qu'un seul petit. Il arrive qu'un orphelin soit adopté par une nourrice.Les lamantins sont à l'origine des légendes des sirènes, d'abord à cause de leur chant qui ressemble à une lamentation, et aussi à cause de leurs mamelles qui ont fait fantasmer (!) des marins de l'expédition de Christophe Colomb._______ 

Suite de la série consacrée aux Siréniens. Les lamantins (Trichechus) vivent en eaux littorales peu profondes, dans les lagunes ou l'embouchure des fleuves et les marais côtiers des Caraïbes, de la zone tropicale de l'océan Atlantique.La queue du Lamantin est ronde, alors que celle du Gugong ressemble à celle des baleines. Ce sont les Lamantins qui sont à l'origine de le Légende des sirènes. Il existe 4 espèces de lamantins:Trichechus manatus, le lamantin des Caraïbes : elle comprend deux sous-espèces , le lamantin des Antilles (peu étudié), et le lamantin de Floride (celui qui a été le plus étudié).Trichechus senegalensis, le lamantin d'Afrique de l'Ouest.Trichechus inunguis, le lamantin d'Amazonie, plus petit, et le seul, parmi toutes les espèces de lamantins, qui vit exclusivement en eau douce._______ 

La Rhytine de Steller (Hydrodamalis gigas) était la dernière géante de la famille des Siréniens. Une géante venue du froid...Cette vache de mer, cousine du Dugong et des Lamantins, pouvait faire jusqu'à 8 mètres de long et peser près de 11 tonnes : elle était donc 3 fois plus grande que ses cousins actuels. La Rhytine peuplait les eaux arctiques. Elle disparaît au 18e siècle, peu après avoir été découverte par les Occidentaux.La Rhytine a été découverte en 1741 par le chirurgien et naturaliste Georg Wilhelm Steller, qui faisait partie de l'expédition de Vitus Béring, un explorateur danois. Cette expédition, commanditée par le Tsar russe, devait déterminer si l'Alaska et la Sibérie étaient ou non reliées. C'est lors de ce voyage que Béring découvrit le fameux détroit qui porte son nom.Lors du retour, le navire échoua sur une île et Steller en profita pour observer sa faune et sa flore. C'est alors qu'il découvrit la Rhytine (dont l'étymologie signifie "peau ridée")..._______ 

Les Siréniens au programme de cette nouvelle série: Dugong, Lamantins et Rhytine de Steller. Ces mammifères brouteurs d'algues sont à l'origine de la légende des sirènes...Le Dugong (Dugong dugon), aussi appelé aussi vache marine ou halicore. Il est l'une des 4 espèces de mammifères de l'ordre des Siréniens. Depuis la disparition de la Rhytine de Steller au 18e siècle, le Dugong (seule espèce de son genre) et les 3 espèces de Lamantins sont les derniers des Siréniens.Les Dugongs vivent sur les littoraux de l'océan Indien, de l'océan Pacifique ouest et de la mer Rouge (Marsa Alam, Qseir), Asie, Asutralie... Le nom Dugong vient du malais duyung.La nageoire caudale du Dugong ressemble à la queue des baleines tandis que celle des Lamantins est ronde.Photo: Julien Willem_______

Dugongs are amongst Asia's most charismatic marine mammals. The species is often referred to as "sea cows" as their diet predominantly consists of seagrass.  The range of the dugongs is fragmented across the warm coastal waters of the western Pacific Ocean to the eastern coast of Africa. In India, their range extends across the Western and Southern coast and the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelago. Unfortunately, dugongs are listed as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN Red List, with their global population declining more than 20% in the last 90 years. Traditional and industrial hunting of dugongs for their meat and oil led to the plummeting of sea cow populations. However, currently, the primary threats faced by dugongs are habitat loss and environmental degradation. Deep-sea mining, trawling, and land reclamation degrade seagrass meadows by increasing sedimentation and hence reducing exposure to light. Pollution, in the form of sewage, heavy metals waste, and herbicides further destroys seagrass meadows. While not quantified,  industrial fishing is also a massive threat as dugongs regularly succumb as bycatch following entanglement in fishing nets.In this episode, Elrika D'Souza, one of India's leading marine biologists, elaborates on her dugong and seagrass conservation work at the Nature Conservation Foundation.

5. Kapitel - Der Arabische TunnelNed und Conseil können es fast nicht glauben, dass es einen Tunnel zwischen dem roten und dem Mittelmeer geben soll und sind gespannt auf die Reise. Auf dem Weg nach Suez kommen sie allerdings noch einem Dugong in die Quere - ein Seesäugetier, ein Verwandter des Manati - und Ned Land ergreift das Jagdfieber. Kapitän Nemo erlaubt die Jagd und stellt sein Boot zur Verfügung. Auch weil das Fleisch des Tieres als Delikatesse gilt. Kurz darauf nähert sich die Nautilus dem Tunnel und der Kapitän übernimmt das Steuer, Pierre Arronax einladend sich die Durchfahrt vom Steuerdeck aus anzusehen. Vorgelesen von Rainer Schuppe; aufgenommen und bearbeitet im Coworking Space Rayaworx, Santanyí, Mallorca.

The reason for this curious title is apparent early in the conversation. In this episode, Patrick and I talk about the ever evolving technological landscape, my strange habit of saying ‘please and thank you' to ChatGPT (in the hope that, in the robot uprising they will remember my courtesy), the new wildly expense Apple Vision Pro googles, the radio work Patrick has been doing to provide sporting commentary for people with vision impairment, my impending Tai Chi lessons (with Patrick the Tai Chi guru), new glasses for blind people (weird, I know) that can read and translate to audio for the wearer and lots more.

The dugong is a Schedule 1 species in India, accorded the same protection as the Tiger but we barely know anything about it. My three amazing guests on episode#32 are researching Dugongs in three coastal pockets of India and doing a fantastic job as far as I can tell. I learnt a great deal about a mammal in my backyard which I was clueless about till now. Hope you enjoy listening to Prachi Sachchidanand Hatkar, Chinmaya Ghanekar and Swapnali Gole of their work with Dugongs as much as I did. Cover Dugong Photo Credits: Darius Quadros.

Paul Budde is een bekende naam binnen de Nederlandse community in Australië. Zo is hij betrokken bij DutchLink in Brisbane en zet hij zich in voor de DACC. Bij het doorspitten van het archief van de Dutch Australian Cultural Centre stuit hij soms op gebeurtenissen waar weinig mensen van gehoord hebben en nog maar weinig van bekend is. Zoals het verhaal van de vermoorde Dungong (zeekoe) visser uit Nederland in 1859, in de buurt van Brisbane.

The Jezero Crater on Mars was targeted by Nasa's Perseverence rover because from orbit, there was strong evidence it had at some point contained a lake. When the Mars 2020 mission landed, it didn't take long to spot rocks protruding from the bottom that looked for all the world like sedimentary rocks – implying they were laid down from the liquid water and maybe perhaps even contain signs of past life. This week, the science team have published some of their analysis from the first 9 months of the mission. And, as Principal Scientist Kenneth Farley of Caltech tells Science In Action, the geology is clearly more complex, as it turns out they are igneous, perhaps resulting from subsequent volcanic activity. Back on earth, Shane Cronin of the University of Auckland has been digging into the legend of the Kuwea volcano in Vanuatu. Folk tales have long talked of an inhabited island that once disappeared beneath the sea. Over the years some have linked these and the submarine caldera with an eruption that occurred in 1452, yet the evidence has been debated. But the Hunga-Tonga eruption earlier this year has shifted Shane's perception of the evidence. As he describes, he now suspects the 1452 eruption was as much as 5-7 times bigger in magnitude, and likely preceded by smaller eruptions that could fit with some of the legends surrounding the story. This type of evidence, interpreted from the testimony of those who live there, is increasingly being employed in conservation studies. Heidi Ma of ZSL in London and colleagues this week declared in Royal Society Open Science, the Dugong – a relative of the manatee - is now functionally extinct in Chinese waters, but they reached this conclusion from interviewing hundreds of individuals in fishing communities along that coast. And very few of them had ever seen one. When CrowdScience listener Eric spotted a few gnats flying around on a milder day in mid-winter, he was really surprised - as surely insects die off in the cold? It got him wondering where the gnats had come from and how they'd survived the previous cold snap. So he asked CrowdScience to do some bug investigation. Presenter Marnie Chesterton takes up the challenge and heads out into the British countryside – currently teeming with buzzes and tiny beasties - to learn about the quite amazing array of tactics these small creatures use to survive the arduous days of cold. She hears how some insects change their chemical structure to enhance their frost resistance whist others hunker down in warmer microclimates or rely on their community and food stocks to keep them warm. Marnie also asks how climate change might be affecting insect over-wintering behaviour - and its implications for the lives of these crucially important organisms. (Image: Jezero Crater.

According to a paper published on August 24th, 2022 in the journal https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.211994 (Royal Society Open Science), the Dugong is now “functionally extinct” in China. These gentle marine mammals, sometimes referred to as sea cows, are one of four species of the order Sirenia. They are the cousins of the Amazonian manatee, West Indian manatee, West African manatee, and the now extinct Steller's sea cow. These peaceful creatures invoked myths of mermaids and fantasy, existing in Chinese waters for thousands of years. Now, because of habitat loss, food loss, hunting, and collisions with watercraft, the Dugong is now one step closer to meeting the fate of their Steller cousin, and only other member of the Dugongidae family. https://thewildlife.blog/2022/08/26/new-study-suggests-the-dugong-is-functionally-extinct-in-china/ (Transcript) Support

This story is about a young woman who turned into a Dugong. She and her mother lived in Kerdeu in Ngerielb, a hamlet in Koror and they were very poor; way back then in Palau it was very taboo for an unmarried woman to become pregnant or have a child out of wedlock but somehow the young woman fell pregnant. Her mother was so sad upon learning about her daughter's pregnancy because they were already very poor as it is, and so she reminded her daughter that she had to take very good care of her health and pregnancy because there would be no one to take care of them or help them if they ever got sick. So the young woman obeyed her mother's advice and had a healthy pregnancy and delivery; she gave birth to a baby girl. After she gave birth her mother warned her not to eat "keam" (Tahitian Chestnut) because it was not good for a woman who had just given birth as it causes bloating but "keam" was one of her favorites. Still, she obeyed her mother's advice until one day when her mother went out to the taro patches to get taro for their family and her daughter just could not contain her cravings anymore and so she figured that she would just eat one and her mother won't know about it. She took a "keam" and she cut it in half and as she started to eat it she was startled by her mother, and upon seeing her mother she immediately put her down he daughter and just walked out of the house leaving both her mother and her daughter. The mother then picked up the baby and started to follow her daughter trying to call her name and trying to get her to stop and go back home but the daughter just kept on going not stopping, and when she reached the dock she jumped straight into the water. Her mother stood at the dock cradling the baby and saying to her daughter, "My daughter, you never listened to what I said, and now you're leaving. Do you not have pity on us?" When the daughter surfaced she had turned into a Dugong and so the mother said her final words to her, " You won't listen to what I say and now you're leaving so now you will be bought for a dollar which will be a marriage payment to a wife's family." Way back then Palauans used to hunt Dugongs not only because they were good food but because their vertebrae were used to be made into a bracelet for the children of the royal family. So when you hunt a Dugong and talk about killing them in their face they would cry and shed tears and so Palauan back they believed that Dugongs were human once that is why they feel emotions and shed tears. The moral of the story is that we should always listen to our parents because they know what they're talking about, they have been in our shoes at some point in their lives. They remind and teach us because they care about us and they love us so they don't want us to get hurt or get in trouble. Most of the time when we want something so much we are blinded by our wants and desires that we don't realize that we could hurt ourselves as well as others. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adria680/support
