Marine mammals are one of the most fascinating species to observe in the animal kingdom as well as one of the most difficult as they spend a majority of their lives in or around the water where they rely on their food for survival. Mammals are in a class of their own being warm blooded creatures, having lungs that they breath air through, nursing their young with their own milk and having a layer of hair or fur to regulate their body temperature.
The body of a marine mammal is extremely smooth and silk which enables it to glide through the waters at exceptional speeds. Marine mammals can spend an enormous amount of time underwater but they must always surface to breathe.
In past years, marine mammals were once the main food source for humans and they were hunted to almost extinction. Year after year, scientists and marine biologists are learning more about the every day lives of each species of marine mammal and many stunning conclusions have been discovered. Not only are marine mammals a very important factor in our world, they are meant to be... (... more information below the photos)

... protected, not hunted.
Humans are the major problem for the declining marine population and, we as humans, can help in the survival of marine mammals in our everyday life by keeping our oceans clean and recycling the appropriate garbage to help the world become a better place. Nature has been kind enough over the years to give humans the opportunity to view fascinating marine mammals such as dolphins, whales, seals, polar bears and otters and learning to appreciate them is a major step.
Our list of pictures is a small sample of what resides in our oceans and they give everybody an idea of how amazing some types of wildlife are. To witness a whale appear out of the quiet ocean waters, to watch a dolphin family leap and frolic in the waters or to view a baby seal squirm along the snow and ice gives one a different perspective to the natural ways of life.
Pages of images are available to browse and see the incredible marine mammal pictures that we have been lucky enough to able to photograph throughout our many adventures.
