Typical representative
Uniformly scaled by snout-to-terminal-fluke total length; the pose is not stretched to every descriptive dimension.
Large Adult Dugong
A large fully grown dugong is shown in one complete, strict left-facing orthographic side profile during a relaxed level swim. Its documented 3.0 m total length is the sole scale anchor, while the streamlined grey-brown body, downturned muzzle, paddle-like flippers and genuinely two-lobed fluked tail retain natural proportions.

Measurement basis
The 3.0 m snout-to-fluke total length is the sole scale anchor. The 0.8 m vertical value is only a reviewed side-pose envelope and does not force anatomy to a second axis.
