Ocean Animals coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of Ocean Animals.

Ocean Animals

This is a simple drawing of a few animals that live in the ocean. This drawing includes animals from several classes. The setting is supposed to be off the west coast of North America, like off the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Below is a list of the animals. See if you can find them on the coloring page.

Sea horses by some kelp. Kelp is actually not a plant nor is it an animal either. Kelp is in Class: Protista.  Sea horses are not invertebrates. They are actually a type of bony fish. There are some other bony fish in the drawing as well. 

The sea anemone LOOKS like a plant, but they are a type of animal.

Clownfish live in or near sea anemone.

Marine worms or sea worms live on beaches and underwater in the ocean. Beach-dwelling worms are also called sandworms, albeit not the size of the enormous desert sandworms in Dune. 

There are a couple of types of coral in this coloring page. Coral is not a rock, nor is it an animal. Coral is a type of marine animal. By the way, one of the corals is brain coral. Do you see which one?

Starfish are seen in this drawing. Starfish or sea stars are members of Class: Asteroidea. That is a cool name. The starfish live on the sea floor.

There is also a clam, a sand dollar, a sea urchin, and a crab on the sea floor in this drawing. You will need to look up the class of animal for each of them if you do the Classification activity. That acticity will be posted tomorrow. 

There is a dolphin and a whale. They are NOT fish. Do you know what class they are in? Here is a hint: they both nurse their young with milk.  The whale is a sperm whale, and it is actually blurry because it is far in the distance. Sperm whales are actually huge and can reach a length of up to 68 feet, or around 20+ meters. 

The shark is not a bony fish. Sharks have cartilage for bones. When ancient sharks died, the only thing we find is their teeth. Look up what class sharks are in. 

There is a mushy translucent dome-shaped invertebrate called a Portuguese Man-O-War that swims or floats in the sea. It has tentacles that can sting you badly. Can you figure out which animal I am talking about?

The birds include a laughing gull. They have a black head. There is also a diving Blue-footed Boobie.  Boobies dive bomb to catch fish that are visible from up high in the air. There are other birds far in the distance.  

The only type of large reptile that survived the dinosaur extinction was sea turtles. 

There are three types of swimming animals with tentacles in this drawing. They are in the same class. They are the octopus, the squid, and the nautoloid. A nautilus looks like the now extinct ammonite. 

NOTE: This drawing will be part of a Science Classification activity. For now, it is a sea life or ocean life coloring page. It can be found in printable form by clicking on the "Animals" button. Then scroll down to the end of the list. IF you are accessing this site in February or March 2026, then you will find the title of this drawing at or near the bottom of the Animals list.
