Marine mammals

Marine mammals are a diverse group of warm-blooded animals that live in the ocean and rely on it for their survival. This group includes whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and manatees, among others. Unlike fish, they breathe air, giving birth to live young and nursing them with milk. Marine mammals have adaptations for life in water, such as streamlined bodies and specialized limbs. They play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, contribute to biodiversity, and often exhibit complex behaviors and social structures. Understanding and protecting marine mammals is vital for the health of our oceans.
