The Amazon (AMZN) founder and CEO added around $8 billion to his fortune Friday, as the
company's stock jumped up more than 7% to close above $2,000, compared to the previous day's

out of the water, and investors responded accordingly. The company was briefly among the elite

it first hit in 2018.

Koh Libong: A haven for Thailand's threatened dugong population

Marium the infant dugong, from her dolphin-like tail to her stubby snout, was a grey and pink
superstar. She went viral after being rescued in April in Thailand's Krabi province, where she'd been
spotted by local residents, drifting near a beach, skeleton-skinny and alone.

Veterinarians from Thailand's Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) determined that
Marium was orphaned, as dugongs usually stay with their mothers until they are 18 months old.

Only 200-250 dugongs -- which resemble manatees but live in the sea rather than fresh water -- live
in Thai waters, with the species listed as vulnerable to extinction.
