Hey mate.
Here are some adaptations of aquatic animals, but, not any specific animal.
1. Streamlined body reduces friction when the animal moves through the water.
2. Smooth, almost furless body helps aquatic mammals move through the water with little friction.
3. Dense fur helps streamline the bodies of some aquatic mammals and keeps them warm.
4. Dense waterproof feathers keep cold water away from bird's skin and prevent wetting of the feathers.
5. Webbed feet, formed from thin skin between the toes, work like paddles.
6. Long legs and necks keep the bodies of wading birds out of the water and are thin, light, and easy to move, and the long
neck helps the birds to reach the water, or below it, for food.
7. Strainers in the mouth filter food particles from the water.
8. Flippers provide a large surface for pushing against water and act like paddles.
9. Eyes positioned on top of the head allow animals to hide almost fully submerged in water and still detect predators or
prey above the water.
10. Nostrils positioned near the top of the head allow animals to come to the surface to breathe while only a small part of
the body can be seen.
11. Nostrils close when the animal goes under the water.
12. Blubber, a thick layer of fat or oil stored between the skin and muscles of the body, provides insulation.
13. Transparent eyelids cover the eyes of animals swimming underwater.
14. Flattened tails serve as paddles.
15. They have webbed feet.
16. They have fins and tails to help them in swimming. Their tails give them directions.

Some animals that live deep in the ocean have special sensors that help them to survive and find food and other animals have feature that attract food to them and help them to camouflage.
