Walrus(Animal)
What is it in the lonely and sad-pleading look of the harbor seal’s eyes or the cute whiskers of an otter? Everything has its beauty as they say even seahorses Animal have their type of charm. Here, are some of the cutest sea animals that one can ever come across. These immense animals possess flippers-like limbs and long spiraled tusks. These are elongated teeth that are used in fights for discipline among the male species; they are also useful in digging in ice.
Harbor seal
They dwell in North as well as South America, Europe, and Asia on the shores of the Oceans. They adopt a whisker-like structure to feel the movement of their prey including fish, shrimps, and squids. This one is also from Wikimedia Commons and it is a picture of a harbour seal named Amelia found in the New England Aquarium in Boston.
Octopus (Animal)
Despite these slender, slippery eight-appendaged creatures being a little sinister they are without bones and bend their shape to fit in narrow gaps; they too can be cute. This is in upsurge to the fact they are perhaps the smartest invertebrates willing to get out of fish tanks if they are being kept for this purpose.
Harp seal
They are usually greyish when adult but they are fuzzy and white when they are still babies. The pupils of their eyes carried a plaintive black color and from their light-looking faces, they made my heart melt.
Green turtle
These are marine turtles that with a lot of agility migrate between the feeding grounds and the nesting sites of their eggs. Hunting and egg scavenging and contact with fishing boats and nets place this species on the endangered list. Also, it can disrupt the normal navigational behaviors of baby turtles who have just hatched, marine pollution is an issue as is deforestation.
Sea otter
It is truly amusing that these furry mammals float on their backs and even hold some food on their tummies as they munch on it. It should be noted that they are the inhabitants of the North Pacific Ocean. Historically, sea otters lived through hunting for their fur and as a result, the species suffered from population crash. It has been estimated that due to conservation measures such as banning hunting and killing the animals, the number has increased but the species is still listed as endangered.
Lionfish
These striped fish have a morose, Eeyore-like expression that gives them a pathetic yet adorable look. But don’t let that face fool you: Their spikes are venomous, and they use them to protect themselves from predators. Thankfully, they’re no longer competitive with humans. They’re seen in the Indian Pacific Ocean, but this one was on display at the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps School of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego.
Beluga whale
These faded whales with their dark eyes and huge heads have a completely special, triumphant look. They can be found only in the cold Arctic waters and are quite social. They travel in pods, and mothers live with their babies for at least two years.
Starry smooth-hound shark
Even sharks, stereotyped as the ocean’s bad guys, have a softer side. While adults of this species can grow to over three feet (1 meter) long, babies are adorable little sharks. They’re not necessarily fierce – they feed primarily on bottom-dwelling shellfish. Once abundant in the Mediterranean Sea and southern European waters, years of overfishing have greatly reduced their populations.
Chinstrap penguin
These penguins are found on islands and icebergs around Antarctica. Here, penguins waddle on Seal Island in Antarctica. Penguins are flightless birds that spend much of their time in the water.
Bottlenose dolphin
Perhaps the most iconic and beloved of all adorable sea creatures, the bottlenose dolphin has a smile built into its snout. These social animals live in groups and are quite intelligent. Their brains make them not only very good at doing tricks in aquariums; they’ve also been trained to find sea mines.
