Aquatic Mammals

Pilot whales typically have 13-16 pairs of ribs, for a total of 26-32 individual ribs.

Arctic animals that eat seaweed include walruses, some species of seals, and certain species of fish such as the Arctic cod and the Arctic char. These animals rely on seaweed as a source of food and nutrients in their cold, harsh environment.

Some examples of harmless sea creatures include jellyfish, sea stars, sea anemones, and certain species of small fish like clownfish or damselfish. These creatures generally do not pose a threat to humans and are essential parts of the marine ecosystem.

Well you can name all the sea creatures discovered but it would take months! And it is not possible to name ALL of the sea creatures living today, most of the earth is covered in water, and we haven't even discovered half of it!

Indricotherium is an extinct early relative of modern rhinos that lived during the late Oligocene and early Miocene Epochs of the Cenozoic Era. It was also the largest land mammal ever to live on land, at about 25 feet

long, 17 feet tall, and weighing nearly 18 tons. In terms of weight, it was four times larger than a modern day bull elephant and rivaled the size of large sauropod dinosaurs that lived during the Mesozoic. Fossils of indricotherium have been unearthed in the Baluchistan province of Pakistan.

Whales play a critical role in the marine ecosystem as they help regulate the populations of their prey, such as krill, fish, and squid. Their massive bodies also store large amounts of carbon, which helps mitigate climate change. In addition, whales are important for tourism and inspire awe and wonder in people around the world.

Male dolphins typically do not take a direct role in calf care. It is the female dolphins, including other female members of the pod, that are primarily responsible for raising and caring for the calves, while males may provide protection to the group as a whole.

An aquatic herbivore is an animal that lives primarily in water and feeds on plants or algae. Examples include manatees, sea turtles, and some species of fish like the parrotfish.

Yes, whales can drown. Despite being marine mammals, they still need to breathe air, so if they are unable to reach the surface to breathe, they can drown. This can happen if a whale is entangled in fishing gear or stranded on land.

The deepest diving marine mammal is the Cuvier's beaked whale, which has been recorded diving to depths of over 9,800 feet (3,000 meters). This species is known for their remarkable ability to dive to extreme depths in search of their primary prey, deep-water squid.

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.

Baby whales are called calves. Just like baby cows, but way bigger and way cooler. So next time you see a cute little whale, you can say "aww, look at that adorable calf!"

The word 'omnivores' just means a creature that eats just about anything; i.e humans are omnivores unless you are vegetarian or similar.

Sea lions move by using their powerful front flippers to "walk" or crawl on land and by using a combination of their front and hind flippers to swim in the water. They are very agile and versatile swimmers, able to reach high speeds and perform quick maneuvers to catch prey or evade predators. On land, they are also quite agile and can move surprisingly fast despite their large size.

In the past five years alone, more than one million seals have been slaughtered in the commercial seal hunt in Canada. The actual number of seals killed is likely higher than that, though, because many seals are shot at and injured in the course of the hunt, and many of these animals slip into the water, where they die slowly and are not counted or recovered.

This depends because many die before their expected life span. Typically, the live until they are between 40 and 50 years old. However, many die earlier because of either orcas or humans killing them.

Marine biologist.

Actually, a Marine Biologist is someone who studies marine organisms (plants, oceans, and animals), but someone who studies MAINLY marine mammals is a marine mammalogist.

Dolphins are in the group of marine mammals called cetaceans, specifically within the family Delphinidae. Within this family, there are different genera and species of dolphins, such as bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, and spinner dolphins.

Whales are a diverse group of marine mammals belonging to the order Cetacea. There are many different species of whales, including the blue whale, humpback whale, sperm whale, and killer whale.

The binomial name for a whale is Balaenoptera musculus, which refers to the species of blue whale.

The scientific name for toothed whales is Odontoceti.

Balaenoptera

Whale is the common name for marine mammals of the order Cetacea. The suborders are Odontoceti (toothed whales) and Mysticeti (baleen whales).
