Walrus tusks can grow to more than three feet in length.
The sailfish is the fastest animal in the ocean. It can swim at speeds of around 70 mph, making it almost as fast as a cheetah.
The Australian Box Jellyfish is the most venomous animal in the ocean. Their stings can cause paralysis and heart failure and are often lethal.
Alligators cannot survive in salt water.
If a shark stops swimming, it will drown.
Some species of seals spend so much time in the water that they spend three-quarters of their lives holding their breath.
All that holding their breath messes up a seal’s body chemistry, however: some larger seals, including elephant seals, can have as much as 10% carbon monoxide in their blood, which would be toxic in humans.
The Baikal Seal lives solely in Lake Baikal in central Asia. It is the only fresh water seal species in the world.
Alligators can be seen in salt water. They can only stay in salt water for day or so and are generally only passing through to find a lake or river without salt. Saw one in Bonita Springs, FL while at the beach. I was rather surprised but fortunately saw the gator before going into the water.
