I have read some time ago that Hippos have been seen swimming in the open sea off south east Africa.

Are there any dugongs in captivity down under?

The caribean manatee's in captivity in the USA are almost all survivors of some sort of accident and rehabilitating, perhaps something like that could get them some individuals?

I think that Seaworld has two Dugongs and are the only ones in Captivity in Oz.
