This is a great illustration of our marine mammals we find around our coast. Thanks to Devon Wildlife Trust
What makes marine mammals so special?
Seals, dolphins, and whales are all mammals as they give birth to live young and feed them milk. They also breathe through lungs like us and don't have gills (which is what sharks and other fish use to breathe).
Next time you're adventuring along the coast, see if you can spot some of the mammals on this marine animal spotter sheet!
