😆Manatees
A genus of large aquatic mammals of the monotypic family Trichechidae from the order Sirens. These herbivores live in shallow waters and feed on aquatic vegetation.
😍Tangerines
They live in shallow waters. They move slowly along the bottom, scanning the coral reefs with large telescopic eyes in search of small prey.
😄Bull-nose rays
They are found at depths of up to 22 meters, but prefer to stay near the surface of the water or in shallow coastal waters. They can gather in huge groups of up to several thousand individuals and migrate over long distances. However, the reasons for this behavior are not fully understood.
😆Cellular moray eel
Cellular moray eels are found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific basin: in the Red Sea, off the coast of East Africa, on the southern tip of the Japanese islands and south to the coast of Australia
🥰Zebra angelfish
The zebra angelfish is similar to the silver angelfish, but has more vertical stripes that extend to the tail of the aquarium fish. The stripes of angelfish look like blades of grass; this color helps the fish hide from its enemies.

The maximum officially recorded length of the giant squid is 16.5 m.
Interesting fact

⚒ Hammerhead sharks
The hammerhead shark will hunt almost any prey it can lay its hands on.
They often prey on stingrays and sharks of other species that are smaller than them. Cases of cannibalism have also been recorded among them, when larger individuals ate smaller ones.

The hairy fish can move along the bottom on its fins, which is why it is nicknamed the “frog fish.” Considered carnivorous - feeding on small fish and other marine life
😦Titicaca Whistler

Blue whale
A marine mammal from the cetacean infraorder, belonging to the minke whale family of the baleen whale order. The largest whale, the largest living animal, and also probably the heaviest of all animals that have ever existed on Earth. Its length reaches 33 meters, and its weight can significantly exceed 150 tons.
Moray echidna

😮Ocean sunfish 🐟

🤓An amazing representative of siphonophores
Siphonophores are ocean-dwelling animals whose body is a colony of jellyfish. Today, about 175 species of these creatures are known, some of which reach a length of 40 meters, making them the longest aquatic animals on the planet.
Octopuses are considered by many zoopsychologists to be the most “smart” among all invertebrates in many respects: they are trainable, have a good memory, distinguish geometric shapes - a small square is distinguished from a larger one; a rectangle placed vertically from a rectangle placed horizontally; a circle from a square, a rhombus from a triangle. They get to know people and get used to those who feed them.
