HOW Christmas is celebrated underwater.
Sydney Aquarium’s resident dugong, Wuru, celebrated Christmas early with an edible Christmas tree constructed entirely from her favourite food – lettuce leaves. “While it may seem rather dull in comparison to an indulgent, brandy-soaked fruit cake, our dugongs certainly love their cos lettuce leaves, and so we couldn’t think of anything more suitable than a lettuce tree this Christmas,” said Andrew Barnes, Dugong Keeper. Wuru is pictured right enjoying the Cos lettuce Christmas tree.
