 Kalk, Margaret (detail)
   
1995
Marine mammals: dugong; dolphins; whales. In: M. Kalk (ed.), A natural history of Inhaca Island, Mozambique. Ed. 3.
Johannesburg, Witwatersrand Univ. Press (xxi + 395 pp.): 329-330. 1 fig.
–Ed. 1, 1958; ed. 2, 1969. Includes three paragraphs on dugongs, giving general information on their biology and recording a couple of sightings in Mozambique, where they are said to be "still fairly common" on the northern coast. Also repeats, however, the questionable stories of dugongs "piling up" seagrasses before eating them (cf. Gohar, 1957), and "holding the baby with one flipper."
