There are plenty of marine mammals that live in warm water, like manatees. That is because they have less blubber(a type of fat) that the others have. Whales, dolphins, seals, and many more, contain blubber that God created for them to have in cold conditions.(including the arctic) Also buy (or check from library) a book about water mammals. That will provide more information.

Mammals generally live in cooler water because they can regulate their body temperature better in colder environments. Cooler water helps them avoid overheating by dissipating heat more effectively than warmer water. Additionally, cooler waters often have higher oxygen levels, which can be beneficial for mammals.

When you live near the ocean are summers cooler and winters warmer?
Yes the proximity of the Ocean, which changes temperature very little (as compared to land) between summer and winter, means that the air coming off the ocean remains at a lower temperature than inland air during the summer and warmer than inland air during the winter.
Why is Earth's air warm?
The sun warms the surface of the earth. This heat moves up into the atmosphere where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases which warm up. This is how the air is warm. The warmth of the air also depends on how far from the equator you are. For example if you live in Greenland the air is generally cooler, and if you live in Hawaii or Brazil the air is generally warmer.
The blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide where?
This process goes on in the LUNGS. All animals , mammals, reptiles, amphibians and marsupials) all have lungs to complete this process. Animals that live wholly in water ( fish ) have GILLS , which do the same job.
What allows plants to live in the desert?
Plants in the desert have adapted to survive with minimal water by developing extensive root systems to absorb moisture, storing water in their tissues, reducing water loss through specialized leaves, and conducting photosynthesis during cooler times to conserve water. Some desert plants also have waxy coatings or spines to protect against intense sunlight and herbivores.
What are aquatic biomes?
Aquatic biomes are large geographical regions characterized by their proximity to water. They include marine (saltwater) and freshwater environments such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and wetlands. These biomes support a wide variety of organisms adapted to living in water, ranging from tiny plankton to large marine mammals.
Why do hedgehog live underground?
Because it is safer for them. It is also cooler/warmer, depending.
How are land mammals different from Sean mammals?
land mammals live on land, sea mammals live in the water.
Why are larger mammals found nearer the poles than at the equator?
Larger mammals are found nearer the poles because of Bergmann's rule, which states that within a species, individuals tend to be larger in colder climates. This is thought to help them conserve heat better in colder environments. Additionally, colder climates may also provide more food resources to support larger body sizes.
Can great white sharks live in long island waters?
Yes they can, they prefer warmer waters so more likely in the summer, but a larger white shark will tolerate cooler water.
Why is it colder in central Europe than by the sea?
The temperature of the oceans in the winter is warmer than the land. This keeps the air warmer in the surrounding area. I live near rivers and a large sound in North eastern North Carolina, US and the temperature at my house can be 5 to ten degrees warmer than the town 10 miles away. The water also helps keep nearby areas cooler in the summer because then the water is generally cooler then the land.
Why do dolphins live in water if they are mamels?
because they cannot live out of the water and yes they are mammals!!
What is the definition of aquatic mammals?
Aquatic mammals are mammals that can swim and live in water if necessary.

no
What mammals live in the water?

Do basking sharks live in warmer or cooler waters than whale sharks?
they live in cloder waters, you can find them in some of the coastal areas of England..
Can mammals live in salt water?
Yes, mammals like Manatee, dugong, whales and dolphins all live in salt water.
Why do more animals live in the colder oceans than in warmer oceans?
Warmer water does not absorb as much oxygen as colder water. Colder water contains & sustains the nutrients need for them to live.
