What is one animal that lives in the ocean?
Whales, dolphins, porpoises, walruses, manatees, dugongs, seals, and sea otters are all mammals that live in the ocean. Some, like seals and sea otters, can also live on land, but they spend most of their time underwater.
What is the most common animal in the ocean?
Ocean Life
But most of them—95 percent—are invertebrates, animals that don't have a backbone, such as jellyfish and shrimp. The most common vertebrate (an animal with a backbone) on Earth is the bristlemouth, a tiny ocean fish that glows in the dark and has needlelike fangs.
What animals live on the ocean surface?
Marine invertebrates include sea slugs, sea anemones, starfish, octopi, clams, sponges, sea worms, crabs, and lobsters. Most of these animals are found close to the shore, but they can be found throughout the ocean. Fish are vertebrates; they have a backbone.
What animal spends most of its life in the ocean?
Sea turtles have been roaming our oceans for more than 100 million years, and for all 100 million years, they've been doing it alone. Sea turtles spend almost their entire lives at sea, with females only returning to the beaches where they were born to nest.
