Seacow is known locally as dugong, a unique animal, being the only herbivorous mammal in existence today. We probably owe our childhood fantasies of the mythical mermaid to the dugong, which, because of its fish-like tail, smooth brownish skin, mammary glands, and woman-like genitalia, was often mistaken by sailors, weary from long voyages, as a mermaid. The dugong can grow to more than three meters in length and can weigh more than 400 kg. Its body is torpedo-shaped with small short flippers and whale-like flukes. Its lip is shaped like a disk with thick hair. Source:Travelmart.net

Shell Island is located in Hundred Islands National Park, Pangasinan, Philippines.  The island is broken in half so you can watch the azure waves crash gently; break into silver sprays and race towards the tide pool. Or turn your attention in studying the ingenious limestone rock formations that make up the island. Or, maybe, just watch the flight of birds as you hide away from the sun and take refuge from their shade. But don`t miss the chance to lose yourself in collecting shells hidden or lying either on the shore or silently glistening under the shallow waters. The area is also subjected to flooding during high tide hence the common sightings of small reef fishes. Source:Hundredislands.ph
