aquatic mammals
Sea life, warm-blooded
Aquatic mammals are mammals that live primarily or entirely in water.
The category includes whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, and otters, among others.
Unlike fish, aquatic mammals breathe air, give birth to live young, and nurse them with milk.
Some are fully aquatic and cannot survive on land; others divide their time between water and shore.
