Fur seals, sea lions, true seals, walruses, chungungo, sea otters, and polar bears.

Carnivores are mammals with highly modified teeth that are adapted to shear flesh. They are also known for their strength, speed, and keen senses for hunting.

Marine mammals are warm-blooded, have hair or fur, breathe air through lungs, and give birth to live young. They nurse their young with milk produced by mammary glands and live all or part of their life in the ocean.
