Princess Sirivannavari pledges support for dugong pups Mariam and Yameel

Princess Sirivannavari pledges support for dugong pups Mariam and Yameel

Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya has pledged her support to nurture two dugong pups, including the star pup Mariam.

Various news reports have mentioned the Princess’ intention, but have not directly cited her announcement.

Princess Sirivannavari also named the second pup Yameel, which means “good-looking man of the sea”. Yameel was recently washed ashore in a southern province not long after Mariam was.

Both baby dugongs became very popular on social media outlets shortly afterwards.

The pups are now under the care of a government sea-life shelter on Phuket province’s Andaman Sea side. The centre’s officials said that both will be released to the sea once they are sufficiently grown.
