Aquatic Mammals

Seal, otter.

Depending upon the species/type of the sea lion, sea lions babies usually stay with their mother for an average amout of 6-12 months.

No. A manatee is an entirely different creature.

They're rare to visit the Bahamas, but in the summer Manatees can travel vast distances. There is a sub-population of West Indian Manatees in the Carribbean that may make their way across the ocean during the summer. It is also possible that an animal from the Florida stock of manatees got caught in a current, and pushed down to the Bahamas. == ==

Estimates vary, but some 200,000 long-finnned and some 150,000 short-finned

Not all marine mammals float, but the ones that do float because the body of the animal is sitting on the surface of the water and that makes the pressure of the body of the animal float because the body is rising from all the pressure.

Hope this helped

-stupid factory

They could be hunted by a verity of animals!!!!,and they could even be hunted by humans.People may even kill them just for fun........

Sure in the same way dolphins are related to pigs....

they are (or in the case of mammoths were) mammals.

They don't! :P

C.H.

The mink and river otter are semi-aquatic weasels

Perhaps this is a native American ( Inuit or Eskimo tribal) name for the Beluga, or white whale which is a recognized species, not a mutant or albino. F9or many years they had several in the New York Aquarium at Coney Island.

River otters do eat snakes but, only small snakes

Steller Se Lions had to adapt to living with less food.

According to my friend Florence Atsley, straws do get stuck in dophin holes as said on Lizzie Maguire :)

Whales can generally only hear sounds that are made underwater. They have very good ears, because they 'talk' to each other using grunts and squeals over long distances.

Sound waves travel extremely well in water . . . much better than in the air.

No, Beluga Caviar comes from the Great White Sturgeon.

Seal cubs (pups) eat fish. I'm not sure what type of fish but I know they eat mainly fish.

from the things it eats

sharp because the seal has to cut into the fish

when feed is around

If you go just outside the Boston Harbor area you can find Humpback, Finback, and Minke whales. These are the types of whales you commonly see on the Boston Harbor whale watch cruises in addition to dolphins.

The time to watch is seasonal. From Jan to May you can see whales within the Cape Cod Bay area and after that better chances are further out to sea or towards the mid-atlantic or south-eastern coast.

For details you can check out the website (sponsored by the New England Aquarium) for the Boston Habor whale watch cruises.

Yes. The toothed-whale group also includes porpoises, dolphins, killer whales and narwhals.

A niche is essentially when, where, and how the animal lives. A Bottle-nose dolphin lives near the top of the food-chain, although it still has some predators, such as the great white shark. It's territory is the ocean- it lives in many different areas, so you can look up its habitat. The dolphin feeds off of schools of fish, and sometimes squid. Some species of dolphins also migrate, depending on the location of the animal.
