Our ocean contains some of the world’s most mysterious marine mammals that have managed to remain hidden from sight! Watch Marine Mammal Monday: Mysterious Marine Mammals to learn more about some of these elusive species and how the Center is helping to investigate the mysteries that surround them. During this virtual program, we’ll be highlighting species like the Guadalupe fur seal and Cuvier’s beaked whale.
Want to dive even deeper? Creatures of the deep are some of the most mysterious of all because their environments are so extreme and difficult for us to study. Some animals live in such an extreme environment that they even get their own name - extremophiles! Learn more about these creatures with our Extreme Adaptations of the Deep activity.
