Coolest Animals in the Ocean

The Top Ten
1 Dolphin A dolphin is an aquatic mammal within the infraorder Cetacea. Dolphin species belong to the families Delphinidae (the oceanic dolphins), Platanistidae (the Indian river dolphins), Iniidae (the New World river dolphins), Pontoporiidae (the brackish dolphins), and the extinct Lipotidae (baiji or Chinese ...read more.

I am so glad that they are number one, they can actually develop emotions and are so smart, not to mention, cute!

2 Great White Shark The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), also known as the white shark, white pointer, or simply great white, is a species of large mackerel shark which can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans. It is notable for its size, with larger female individuals growing to 6.1 ...read more.

It's the ancestor of the megalodon, the biggest shark ever to exist in the sea, or anywhere else! How can you say its not cool?!

Take this giant eating smelly fish of this list.

I prefer dolphins but sharks Are still awesome

It is the coolest and even cooler than dolphin

3 Killer Whale The Orca, or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. It is recognizable by its black-and-white patterned body. Orcas are a cosmopolitan species and can be found in all of the world's oceans, in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas... read more

Wolves of the Sea. Or at least that's what I've heard. Even though they have 'whale' in the name they are a type of dolphin, the largest I'm pretty sure and from the Delphinidae family. They look beautiful with the black-and-white with the patch of white over their eyes. Also extremely intelligent. They can be trained to perform acts at places like Sea World. One of the most famous would be Keiko, from the movies Free Willy, Free Willy 2, and Free Willy 3. They let the orca back into the wild after the campaign.

Killer whales or orcas are the largest type of saltwater dolphin. They are stunning killers of the ocean. Even though they are amazing hunters orcas don't attack people ( which is a good thing )

Orcas are beautiful creatures of the ocean. They are intelligent, cunning, and graceful animals. (By the way, did I mention them being REALLY CUTE? )

4 Beluga Whale The beluga whale or white whale is an Arctic and sub-Arctic cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the narwhal, and the only member of the genus Delphinapterus.

This should be number one! Beluga whales are so loyal! And they are endangered!

I love belugas!

That is so cute.

5 Jellyfish
6 Octopus An octopus (octopuses or octopodes, see below for variants) is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda. The order consists of some 300 species and is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, an octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beaked mouth at the center point of the eight limbs. The soft body can radically... read more

They are intelligent, they camouflage easily, they can squeeze into small spaces, they can regenerate arms, coolest animal EVER!

This should be #2. They are my favorite mollusc in the ocean. They are AWESOME.

They are awesome I did it for my animal report at school and I'm not kidding

7 Tiger Shark The tiger shark is a species of requiem shark and the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo. It is a large macropredator, capable of attaining a length over 5 m. Populations are found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around central Pacific islands.
8 Blue Whale The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal and a baleen whale. Reaching a maximum confirmed length of 29.9 meters (98 ft) and weighing up to 199 metric tons (196 long tons; 219 short tons), it is the largest animal known to have ever existed. The blue whale's long and slender body can ...read more.

They are so strong yet peaceful.

9 Giant Squid The giant squid is a deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. Giant squid can grow to a tremendous size due to deep-sea gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at 13 m for females and 10 m for males from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (second only to ...read more.
10 Lobster Lobsters comprise a family of large marine crustaceans. Lobsters have long bodies with muscular tails, and live in crevices or burrows on the sea floor.

12 Blowfish
13 Electric Eel
14 Whale Shark The whale shark is the world's largest living shark as well as the largest living fish. Whale sharks grow up to 45 ft. (13.7 m) long, and can weigh as much as 13 tons (11.6 tonnes). Their mouths alone are a whopping 6 ft. (1.8 m) across-big enough to gulp down three percent of their body weight in food in one sitting. As well as eating planktonic (microscopic) prey, whale sharks will also take nektonic (larger free-swimming) species, including fish and squid, when they get the chance. However, unlike their smaller cousins, these sharks are real gentle. ...read more.

These sharks eat plankton

I love whale sharks

15 Sting Ray

They are majestic and calm and beautiful creatures!

16 Narwhal The narwhal is a unique and elusive cetacean found in Arctic waters. It is instantly recognizable by the long, spiral tusk that extends from the upper jaw of males, which can grow to lengths of over 8 feet. This tusk is actually an elongated tooth and is used for various purposes, including communication, sensing changes in the environment, and possibly even for hunting. Narwhals have a mottled grayish-brown skin and are well adapted to life in icy waters. They often travel in groups and feed primarily on fish and squid. Their elusive behavior and remote habitat make them a subject of fascination and scientific study.

The horn rocks

17 Mimic Octopus The mimic octopus is an Indo-Pacific species of octopus capable of impersonating other local species.

How could you not love this animal they mimic everything a normal octopus blends in well but these take it to a WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL I mean they are crazy they are like chameleons awesome creatures.

18 Manta Ray Manta rays are large rays belonging to the genus Manta. The larger species, M. birostris, reaches 7 m in width while the smaller, M. alfredi, reaches 5.5 m. Both have triangular pectoral fins, horn-shaped cephalic fins and large, forward-facing mouths.
19 Gulper Eel
20 Sperm Whale
21 Clam

Aw, they're so helpless! You can't make fun of them! Happy as a clam! Hehehehe!

22 Megalodon The megalodon is an extinct species of shark which was about 59 feet (18 meters) long and hunted in the seas until about 1.5 million years ago. It was similar to today's great white shark-but three times longer and 20 times heavier. Megalodon had more than 250 huge, razor-sharp teeth and its mouth was so huge that it could easily swallow a person. The fossils of its teeth were once thought to be the tongues of dragons or similar beasts. Megalodon was in the same shark group as today's great white shark, mako shark, and porbeagle shark. All of these species of sharks are big, fast, fierce hunters-just like their prehistoric relative.

They can grow up to be 20 meters long

It is 100 feet long!

23 Coelacanth Coelacanths are lobe-fin fish that have lived more than 70 million years ago. Two kinds are still around today, swimming in the deep waters of the Indian Ocean.
24 Crab Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail", usually entirely hidden under the thorax.
25 Mako shark

It is the fastest shark ever, and it looks and sounds cool. It is the best
