There are no native underwater freshwater mammals in Australia. The platypus and native water-rat are both semi-aquatic, meaning they actually live on land, not underwater.
There are, of course, many species of fish. In addition, there are some underwater marine mammals native to Australia (but not necessarily found exclusively in Australian waters), which include:
- dugong
- dolphins - various species
- whales - various species such as Southern Right whale, Humpback and Minke
Then there are the seals - various species such as the Australian Fur seal, Leopard seal, Weddells seal - and the Australian sea lion.
