Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some of the adaptations of aquatic animals are: Their body is streamlined and hence, they can swim easily. They have gills as the respiratory organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory Adaptations Marine mammals communicate underwater with sound, and many species use sound (echolocation) to locate prey. Tactile senses are acute. Pinnipeds and fissipeds have well-developed facial whiskers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Having a streamlined body is an adaptation or to be more specific an evolution to help the organism survive in a better way into their habitat. It is not associated with storing food, fats, keeping the body warm, or reducing the loss of water. It reduces the pressure of water against the body of the organism.

It is a form that aids in the reduction of friction between a fluid and an object moving through it and it also decreases resistance to movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations.
