Sea World

Dugong Discovery

Sea World has opened a new and innovative marine animal exhibit presenting the plight of the placid and endearing dugong.

Dugong Discovery is filled with fun interactive elements and features a naturalistic oceanarium replicating Moreton Bay housing PIG and Wuru, Sea World's resident dugongs, turtles, stingrays, fish and other marine life found in South East Queensland waters.

Dugong Discovery takes you and your family on an emotive and educational journey into the world of the dugong, a beautiful marine creature whose numbers are declining at a rapid rate.

The spectacular exhibit tells the compelling story of �Pig�, a seven year old dugong who has resided on and off at Sea World since his rescue shortly after birth. Pig was the world�s first hand raised, rehabilitated and released dugong, but unfortunately he returned to Sea World six months after his release due to illness and inability to assimilate with wild dugong herd.
The exhibit aims to raise public interest and promote conservation of this critically endangered species.

For the first time ever, Sea World guests are able to see PIG and Wuru up close and personal through the large 11 metre x 2.4 metre underwater viewing window of the Oceanarium.
