Thailand: A dugong was first observed off Rawai shore, igniting both pleasure and concern over the current threat to the endangered aquatic animal.
Following the rumored sighting of at least one dugong close to the busy Rawai Landing Pier, officials from the municipal office in Rawai and the Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center ( Upper Andaman Sea ) mobilized to conduct a joint search of the area.
Although this has not yet been confirmed, it was reported that a team might have up to nine orangutans. A video clip was taken of the older orangutans, around 1.5-1.8 feet longer, from the wharf.
Kongkiat Kittiwatthanawong, chairman of the study heart, said no dugong has ever been seen near Rawai shore before. He thought the dugong might have been drawn there because the underground seagrass had grown in the area’s small patches.
The orangutans, which is thought to have migrated from local Trang in search of food, is unlikely to stay around Rawai shore for very much, according to Mr. Kongkiat given the small source of the grass.
In a Facebook post on his page, Mr. Kongkiat claimed that the dugong may have abandoned Trang because there is n’t enough seagrass in the area, where the number of native dugongs has been declining.
However, the alligators experience danger in new seas. Many of them have recently been trampled by fishing traps and injured or killed by ship website shafts.
Seagrass and a wide range of seaweeds were abundantly present in the deep waters close to Rawai Beach, according to one social media users.
However, the grass has almost been totally destroyed by the building of piers along the seaside and the uncontrolled harvesting of algae.
A orangutans was captured in a video clip that was shot on Tuesday at Rawai Beach for the first time in Phuket. Social Page for Phuket Info Center
