Gotta be Otters for me
With fine motor skills, logical puzzle solving & innovative adaptations to caring for their young they're very interesting creatures

because why not.....

 

 

 

but in all seriousness i dont really have a favorite

Of course, the dolphins. I love them because they're cute. And I respect them because of their peculiar nature. Here is an excerpt about their social behavior straight from Wiki:

 

 

Dolphins can, however, establish strong social bonds; they will stay with injured or ill individuals, even helping them to breathe by bringing them to the surface if needed.^[38] Thisaltruism does not appear to be limited to their own species. The dolphin Moko in New Zealand has been observed guiding a female Pygmy Sperm Whale together with her calf out of shallow water where they had stranded several times.^[39] They have also been seen protecting swimmers from sharks by swimming circles around the swimmers^[40][41] or charging the sharks to make them go away.

Dolphins communicate using a variety of clicks, whistle-like sounds and other vocalizations. Dolphins also use nonverbal communication by means of touch and posturing.^[42]

Dolphins also display culture, something long believed to be unique to humans (and possibly other primate species). In May 2005, a discovery in Australia found Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) teaching their young to use tools. They cover their snouts with sponges to protect them while foraging. This knowledge is mostly transferred by mothers to daughters, unlike simian primates, where knowledge is generally passed on to both sexes. Using sponges as mouth protection is a learned behavior.^[43] Another learned behavior was discovered among river dolphins in Brazil, where some male dolphins use weeds and sticks as part of a sexual display.^[44]

Forms of care-giving between fellows and even to different species^[45] (see Moko (dolphin)) are recorded in various species such as trying to save weaken fellows^[46] to femalePilot Whales holding dead-calf for long periods.

 

Respect.

I personally like sharks.

 

but by far the most fascinating sea creature to me is the Mantis Shrimp.

 

For those who don't know about the mantis shrimp, the oatmeal summed it up nicely here:

EDIT: Here is a nice video for you to watch too on this beautiful little death machine :)

I'm more interested in those creatures who may or may not exist in the deep seas. Seems quite interesting.

Sharks for me period.

I didn't like Ineseri's post for the picture, but the sentence he posted under the picture.

 

I agree with ineseri, but also, penguins. :D
