Marine Predators

Marine predators are animals that hunt and feed on other organisms in marine environments. These predators play a crucial role in the aquatic food web, regulating prey populations and maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. Common examples of marine predators include species such as sharks, tuna, orcas, and various types of seals and seabirds. These animals typically possess adaptations for hunting, such as sharp teeth, speed, and keen senses, allowing them to effectively capture their prey, which can range from smaller fish and invertebrates to larger marine mammals. Marine predators can be found in various oceanic habitats, from coastal regions to deep-sea environments, and their behavior and feeding strategies can vary significantly among different species.
