DEFINITELY a dolphin, it is the smallest aquatic mammal. otters are not wholely aquatic. and sea monkeys sea lions etc are not mammals. whales are the largest mammals.

Animals that live really deep, like squid, whales, octopus, and some deep-water strange fish (Anglerfish, etc.)

It depends what dolphin you are talking about in particular. Almost all dolphins live in the ocean. There are a few fresh water dolphins--most freshwater are in danger of becoming extint. Some dolphins, like the killer whale has a wide range in where it lives. It can live up north near Alaska, in the icy cold waters, and there are some killer whales that can migrate as far south as Florida. Some dolphins are native to certain areas of the world.\n\nIf you say what dolphin you are talking about, I can probably help you better.

4. Please give me these answer for science.\nA. This is the largest animal in the world and a filter feeder.\n\n\n*** I think it is the Whale Shark, or some other type of whale (blue, basking, sperm...look up types of whales)****\n\n\nB. An animal whom lives in a animal or plant and takes food wihtout killing it.\n\n***Any type of parasitic worm...like hook worms or tape worms.  They live in the intestinal tract.****

You have got to be kidding me. I have a favorite 'prehistoric water-dwelling animal'? I believe in a young earth anyway, so they're not prehistoric. I guess maybe Leviathan.

On Earth, since at the moment at least (and for the forseeable future) Earth is the only place for creatures.\n\nI'd vote for a virus as being the smallest, some are just shells with DNA around them. The smallest viruses are about 20 nanometers across, and the very smallest one known has only 4 genes. I believe this type of virus is so small that its host - the thing it attacks - is a microbe.\n\n\nA lot of depends on how you define a 'creature.' Just recently the worlds smallest fish was found near Sumatra, one that also claimed the smallest creature with backbone award.

Interesting question, but I think you're putting the cart before the horse. \nI could say that they don't live out of the water because their many specializations make it impossible; you've seen what happens when a whale gets beached. \n\nAnd why not turn the question around? Why not ask\n"If dolphins live in the water, why do they have lungs instead of gills?"\nThe thing is, adaptation is a phenomenon that usually shows us amazing results, such as the entire lifestyle of cetaceans (and they have many specializations for aquatic life). But a specialized or well-adapted animal is not "perfectly" fitted, because of the way evolutionary processes work. \nEvolution and natural selection can only work on the "materials" that are already there; and the lungs of mammals are not something that can be "reverted" to gills; their origin goes way back to remote ancestors of the whales. This irreversibility of _complex_ evolutionary processes is known as Dollo's "law" (and creationists love to misinterpret it). Stephen J. Gould gave a good example with the giant panda's "thumb" (this additional finger arose from one of the bones of the carp (wrist), and the real thumb of pandas is as reduced as in the rest of the Carnivora). \nEven if cetaceans where to evolve back into terrestrial animals, the results would not look like their ancestors, or probably anything that we know.

Check a aquarium. Also, you can check the Internet and if you live near the coast, there is probably going to be some sort of research center nearby that would have people who know a lot of stuff about dolphins.\nCheck www.dolphins.org\nIt's a dolphin research center, I think.

I know there are many different websites for animals or small mammals. Type in you Yahoo! search small mammals, I did and I came up with over 2 million choices. The first ones will be good, if not look up some national Zoos, that may help you.

Sirenia is an order of fuaquatic, herbivorous mammals that live in rivers, estuaries and coastal marine waters. Commonly called manatees, dugongs, or seacows, they have significant aquatic adaptations: forelimbs have changed into arms used for steering, the tail has changed into a paddle used for propulsion and the hindlimbs (legs) are  two small remnant bones.

Water dragons are large diurnal arboreal agamid lizards in the genus Physignathus. There are two species, the Chinese Water Dragon, Physignathus cocincinus, and the Australian Water Dragon, Physignathus lesueurii. They are sometimes kept as pets, especially P. cocincinus, though a full-grown male of that species will measure about three feet (1 meter) total length and thus requires a fairly large enclosure for proper care.
