Once upon a time, in a vast ocean lived a group of sea sirens called Sirenia. They were marine mammals known as sea cows and had thick layers of blubber to protect themselves from predators. However, their numbers started to dwindle as they became prey to other animals. To save themselves, the Sirenia had to migrate to safer waters. But despite their efforts, some Sirenia populations became extinct. The surviving sea sirens continued to protect each other and their home in the ocean, always on the lookout for danger and ready to migrate again if necessary. The end.

2. What is blubber and why is it important for the Sirenia?
3. Who are the predators of the Sirenia sea cows?
4. What can you do to protect endangered species like the Sirenia?
