I really like octopi. They're smart and can do all sorts of things, like squeezing into tight spaces and changing their body color. If I had to be reincarnated as an animal, an octopus would be one of my first choices.

I like manatees, too. I wouldn't want to be one since they get killed by boats a lot, but I love the way they look; a big, fat body with tiny flippers and a sad face. They're adorable!

I also like starfish. They wanna be Dirty Dan. :)

I like crabs. I feel for them also, as their shells are so fragile.

Aw man, and I was all excited when I saw the topic of the thread. Imagine my disappointment when the OP steals my answers :evil: , was literally thinking those exact two.

Also, the starfish aren't Dirty Dan, I'm Dirty Dan.

I'm a fellow lover of octopi, and I also like sharks of just about any kind. I'm particularly fond of deep-sea creatures of all sorts, too. Pretty much, I just want to know everything about everything :D If it weren't for my sensory issues with getting wet and temperature change, I'd probably love being a marine biologist.

I like octopi too. Also, it's nice to see a fellow 'octopi' user! 'Octopuses' look so wrong.
I also like squids.

I like watching jellyfish swimming from the wharf. Harbor seals too.

Jellyfish! How could I have forgotten to put them on my list?

And seals were my favorite animals when I was little. Still like them of course.

I hear harbor seals barking all the time. They seem like happy critters.

I also like octopi. I’ve heard they are as smart as house cats. :heart:

What makes you think YOU get to be Dirty Dan?

Mermaids don't count, do they? :)

Okay, how about whales? And the whale shark. And lobsters (not to eat like most other people do).

I like the little Pea Turtle in this video. I don't know if Sweet Pea is a sea creature though.
