What you’ll learn about ocean animals
These quizzes help you practice recognizing common ocean animals, their body features, and where they live in the sea. You’ll also review basic ideas like predators and prey, camouflage, migration, and how animals survive in different ocean zones.
Ocean animals come in many groups—fish, mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates—and they each have special adaptations for life underwater. For example, dolphins breathe air but live in the ocean, while many fish use gills to breathe and fins to move.

Quick ocean-animal facts to notice
- Sharks have skeletons made of cartilage, not bone.
- Sea turtles can travel long distances but must surface to breathe.
- Octopuses can squeeze through tiny gaps and change color for camouflage.
- Coral reefs are built by tiny animals called coral polyps.
- Many deep-sea animals use bioluminescence (their own light) to survive.
Tips for getting better scores
Look for clues in the question (habitat, body parts, diet) before you answer. If you miss one, use it as a chance to learn the key feature that makes that animal unique.
