Interesting song, but... Dugongs and Manatees are seperate species (and swim in different areas) - Dugongs around Australia, and Manatees around North, Central and Southern America.
Oh, and Dugongs aren't known as Cows of the sea (that is Manatee's) - Dugong means "lady of the sea" or mermaid... No idea why though, as the song points out, they are rather ugly...
Any chance of updating the song appropriately !?

Indeed - Wikipedia is so useful...
Any chance of updating the song appropriately !?In a word:
No.

Shame... :(
How about adding a footnote then, to say that the information contained in the song is inaccurate ?

If Kenya was to literaly urinate over Norway the trajectory in the toon is inaccurate. It would actually hit Denmark.

Would that matter though ?

no. and neither do the points made about the cartoon.
The toons are not made to be accurate or educate (that's what schools for kids :eng101: stay in school), they are meant to be funny/ amusing/ pass the time

Normally I would agree, however, this tune does contain information about Dugongs, so not only could it be regarded as educational (ignore the comparison chart), but as there is information about these aquatic creatures, it should be accurate.

Next you'll be telling us there are no tigers in Kenya :rolleyes:
Firstly, look at the Xbox table! Does that look educational to you? It says that Dolphins have online service.
Secondly, you are trying to preach to people who sing along to the nutrigrain adverts (#hop along elfie, hop along elfie#) and who pretty much don't care. Personally, I don't have the intellectual capacity to read the sub-titles, let alone suss out the subtle differences between Dugongs and Manatees.
You tried though, and that's what counts.
Your honour, the prosecution rests its case.

In my experience, chicken mostly tastes like whatever gravy I have on it.
