The sea cow

A dugong, also called a sea cow, floats on its back in the Red Sea, Marsa Alam, Egypt. This creature can live up to 70 years and grow to a maximum length of 13 feet (4 meters) and weight of 595 lbs. (270 kg). Unlike the similarly-shaped manatees that live solely in freshwater, dugongs are marine mammals that take up residence in shallow coastal (salty) waters of the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

Southern Sea Otter

Otters never fail to make us smile, and this is definitely the case with this handsome Southern sea otter (also called a California sea otter), photographed at South Harbor, Moss Landing, California. Southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) can grow to a length of 4 feet (1.2 meters); females can weigh up to 50 pounds (23 kilograms), while males can reach 70 lbs. (32 kg). This southern population of sea otters is considered an endangered species, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

This cute creature was submitted as an entry to the World Ocean Day Photo Contest by Dr. Steve Lonhart.

A seahorse and his babies

A long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus) carries babies in this underwater close-up. Though the seahorse will release up to 2,000 eggs from its pouch, only a few will survive. This species has no teeth and instead hoovers up tasty shrimp and other food, according to the Marine Conservation Society in the U.K.
