Sea animals!!! A sea animal is any type of animal that lives in a body of salt water (like a sea or ocean), so starfish and krill are just as much sea animals as a whale is. In this article, we will learn about the many different types of sea animals with ESL pictures.
Sea Animals
Sea animals can be categorized according to where they live in the ocean – floating with the currents, swimming in the water column, or living on the bottom.
