Marine mammals are mammals that are (to a large extent) adapted to marine life. The group includes whales and relatives (Cetacea), manatees (Sirenia) and pinnipeds (Pinnipedia), which includes seals, sea lions and walruses. The polar bear (Ursus maritimus), the sea otter (Enhydra lutris) and the coastal otter (Lontra felina) are also considered marine mammals. The whales, dolphins and porpoises have completely adapted to the aquatic environment and no longer come ashore, just like the manatees. A number of marine mammals have adapted to freshwater life, such as the Amazonian manatee and the Chinese flag dolphin.
