Marine Mammals Marine Mammals - Back to the Sea Marine mammals have Flippers instead of legs. Streamlined bodies for swimming. Spongy bones for buoyancy. Layers of body fat (blubber) to provide insulation against low temperatures. They have also developed adaptations to help them see, breathe, & navigate in aquatic environment.
Marine Mammals Marine Mammals - Back to the Sea One important difference that distinguishes marine mammals from fish & other fully-developed marine organisms: Dependent on the oxygen in the atmosphere to breathe. To breathe, mammals must surface for air. Other marine mammals (e.g. polar bears, walruses, sea otters, & seals) go ashore to breed & raise their young Returning to the ocean to feed.
Marine Mammals Marine Mammals - Back to the Sea Many marine mammals (whales, dolphins, & manatees) never leave the water during their lifetime. Bear & nurse young in the water. When young mature they breed, rest, & feed in the water.
Marine Mammals Marine Mammals - Back to the Sea Many share similarities, but have adapted to its own special lifestyle & environment. Those living in cold areas or deep water have developed layers of blubber for insulation. Those living in warm waters have not. Predator or carnivore (polar bears & killer whales) have developed speed, strength, & sharp teeth or claws. Herbivores do not have the same structures as carnivores; instead they have grinding molars to break down plants.
