  • Ok, now I understand what you say, so for friday fish facts you can just add mammal facts as well, so the post is still wrong, because cephalopods are not fish, but me on the beach is a fish.

    Fun friday fish fact about me, a human fish: if you swim in the sea with a long beard, there is a big chance that small dead fishes will get tangled in your beard. Wash your beard after swimming in the sea as the smell of these small dead fishes will become unbearable later.



  • They are mammals, they are artiodactyla, even-toed ungulates. They are closer to us than fishes. Their ancestors with our ancestors left the oceans, and the ancestors of dolphins and all sea mammals went back to the water several million years later.

    Mammals changed back to aquatic lifestyle multiple times separately. First the ungulates (dolphins, whales, narwhals, etc, closest non aquatic relative are hippos), and manatees (their closest relatives are elephants on the shore). Later sea lions and walruses. The most recent are sea otters and polar bears.

    Wikipedia has a nice article on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_mammal
