marine mammals  

Definition

  • MARINE MAMMALS ARE members of the Class Mammalia possessing significant adaptations to allow them to live in an aquatic environment (to a greater or lesser extent) and derive all (or most) of their nutritional needs from the sea. Some marine mammals are entirely aquatic, while others may spend part of their lives on land. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change; Marine Mammals]
