∙ 12y agoStructural adaptations of the killer whale include:
- The blubber on a Killer Whale works as insulation to trap heat and keep the whale warm in colder conditions.
- They are quite agile in the water, which helps them to escape from predators, and to hunt down prey.
- The body shape of a killer whale is streamlined to allow for speed in the water - they are among the fastest of the marine mammals. Their shape also enables them to ride waves, which is one way to conserve energy.
- Killer whales are capable of diving more than 100m (the deepest dive ever recorded was 274m).
- When they dive, killer whales have a slower heart rate, while protein molecules such as haemoglobin and myoglobin store oxygen in body tissue, enabling a more energy and oxygen-efficient dive.
- They have strong pectoral fins to help them steer and they stop with the help of flukes (end of the tail).
- Their dorsal fins help to stabilize them when they are reaching high speeds.

Sea lions have special whisker-like structures on their faces called vibrissae. The vibrissae are filled with nerves so that the sea lion can feel with them, and surrounded by muscles so that the sea lion can move them. The sea lion can use them to balance and hold a ball, much like a human balancing something on his/her fingertips.
