An orca, or killer whale, is in fact a mammal. Orcas are beautiful creatures, and one of the few breeds of carnivorous whales, although they are more closely related to the dolphin family than to the whale family. You may remember the friendly orca from the epic children's film "Free Willy" (episodes 1,2 and 3).
The bottle-nose dolphin, and all dolphins in fact, are marine mammals. Dolphins are some of the most intelligent animals on the planet. They communicate with each other with sophisticated clicks and use sonar to locate fish. Unfortunately dolphins are often killed needlessly by tuna fisherman who use vicious and careless methods to catch fish.
A fur seal, and all seals in fact, are marine mammals. Seals are playful, friendly creatures. Adult fur seals can hold their breath up to 30 minutes underwater without surfacing for air! Do not confuse seals with their cousins the sea lion.
This is the only animal in this list which is not a mammal. A mammal is a warm-blooded animal which gives birth to live young. Although penguins are considered to be marine animals, and look like they are wearing little tuxedos, they are certainly not mammals. Penguins are actually flightless birds.
