Animals Many animals are found in the oceans of the world. Some of the marine animals are the hundreds of species of fish, snakelike eels, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, sea anemones, dolphins and manatees. Other sea animals are sea urchins that are spiney and feed on seaweed, whales such as the beluga, white, killer, and the humpback also live here. Whales sing songs as their communication link between each other. Sharks are also found in oceans of the world.
Sharks have five gill slits on each side of the head.
Despite what most people think, very few sharks will actually attack humans. Adaptations that marine animals have are sleek bodies to help them glide smoothly through the water, many colors to help them hide from predators, gills that allow them to breath under the water, sharp teeth which help them to eat their prey and fins to help them maneuver. This white sided dolphin can easily do flips and turns because of its slender and flexible build. This bright colored red sea anemone uses its prickly spines to catch its meal. Despite its attractive colors, this anemone has poisonous features.
