What are your favorite sea animals?

I like killer whales



For the longest time, I thought the white spots were actually it's eyes.

I like seahorses.

Deep sea Isopods

Otters!

Seals, otters, turtles, dolphins?that kind of thing.

Most sea creatures terrify me!

So many. I love whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, penguins and sharks.

Pretty much my favorites too! Each of those are quite unique and fun to study about (though I would be careful getting close to sharks haha).

Extinct marine animals are the best. They're mysterious and very similar yet different from today's animals, from another time of the Earth. Anything about extinct marine animals interests me. From the early cambrian multicellular life forms to the giant marine reptiles that lived with the dinosaurs, they're all wonderful. Life originating in the sea and the sea being home to so many diverse and cool creatures is why I find marine life more interesting to learn about than terrestrial life.

For modern animals, I'd probably go with sharks. I like how deadly and resilient they are, being on this earth longer than mammals and lasting this long shows how well suited they are to their surroundings and at hunting, the fact that they are made of . Many species are very harmless and peaceful to humans as well, like the whale shark. The ones that attack people are also by accident, most sharks aren't man eaters. Though I'd still be cautious and respectful of a great white if i swam with one.

I also like whales because they are smart and cooperative with each other, and they have emotions like us and can care for each other, while being the top predators of the ocean. It's cool how they evolved from some small land mammal and grew into the many gargantuan species today. I'd love to see a blue whale one day.

Penguins. They are birds, but marine animals nonetheless. Watching March of the Penguins shaped my views as a youngster. I had a life-sized, stuffed penguin for years.

Dolphins and seal pups!!! :D

Penguins too if they count at all.

They live in the ocean so of course they do :)

I don't really have a favourite but there's so many cool ones. Sharks, whales, dolphins, octopuses, jellyfish etc etc. Octopuses or Orcas might edge the others out though I guess?

Penguins, harp seals, octopuses, sea cucumbers, dolphins, and narwhals, to name a few.

White Spotted Jellyfish are pretty cute

Sea Lions.

sharks and otters are some of my favorites i'd say.

Orcas, dolphins, seals, sea lions, and if they count as "animals" (they're certainly living things, I believe?) then I've always thought coral reefs were fascinating.

Octopus is my top one as well just because of octillery lmao.

I like sea turtles as well but mainly because of the cute one in Finding Nemo

I like them because they're extremely intelligent primarily, the camouflage and flexibility/compression are added bonuses. An octopus is capable of complex problem solving typically only seen in a handful of mammals. I wonder how much further the species could go if they had longer lifespans/didn't tend to die raising their young.

I've surrounded with shark plushies so maybe that tells something! I like octopuses too, they're so intelligent and look neat.
