Time for an animal-related bracket. This one is our Favorite Aquatic Mammals! This includes both saltwater and freshwater aquatic and semiaquatic mammals in a randomized bracket.
What makes a marine mammal a marine mammal? They must meet the characteristics of all mammals — they breathe air through lungs, are warm-blooded, have hair (at some point during life), and produce milk to nurse their young — while also living most or all of their lives in or very near the ocean. This bracket will include freshwater as well.

I have included the length of each one, because the pictures don’t always give you the full grasp of the size.

The deadline is Thursday evening, September 19.
