Oceanic predators
Oceanic predators are marine animals that hunt and feed on other sea creatures in the open ocean, not near the coast. Examples include sharks, killer whales, large predatory fish, and deep-sea creatures. They play a vital role in maintaining the balance of ocean ecosystems by controlling the populations of their prey. These predators have adaptations like sharp teeth, keen senses, and powerful bodies that help them efficiently locate and catch their food in the vast, often dark and deep waters of the ocean.
