Yay Scottish Loch Ness is God Tier ^.^ Scotland's good for something!

I think the Dolphin and Shark should switch places, Sharks are just more awesome.
They're just as good each other. Same tier means that they're equal to all of the others.

Orca > Loch Ness

Speaking of which, where is it?

And also newts, frogs, salamanders, and bugs should be banned because they die ON CONTACT with salt water.

Also, refering to a couple of posts here, Toothed Whales are related to dolphins, but they are as different as bears are from dogs. Their body structures have enough differences to seperate Orcas from Dolphins.

You forgot so much, Solidz. Where are the sea anemone and sea urchins?

I don't like marine tier lists. :mad:

Yeah but by this logic, any freshwater fish should also be banned.

They're not that different. Besides, you're only thinking of orcas and bottlenose dolphins (or other dolphins of that variety, whose appearance is distinctly different from orcas). Their appearance is a little different, but they are very closely related. The difference isn't like that between bears and dogs, it's more like the difference between a gray wolf and a German shepherd. Orcas are dolphins, through and through.

One moves at the speed of mayo and the other eats kelp, they don't own much.
Think about it. The only marine animal immune to the paralyzing toxic of the sea anemone is the clown fish. Yeah, they are small and stationary, but they are like ****ing land mines....but in the ocean.


Oh and a sting ray killed Steve Irwin, you guys. Doesn't that say alot, considering it was THE Steve Irwin?

Not true, Butterflyfish eat Sea Anemones, Clownfish attack Butterflyfish, thus Clownfish are not freeloaders as they're the anemones bodyguards.

It still is true. It's symbiosis. They are still protecting each other. They must have a synergetic relationship in order to survive.

In other words, clownfish are working for housing, like a homelessness program. So of course they are not freeloaders.

I didn't say that they don't clean the anemone, but I was emphasizing the fact that anemones by themselves aren't very tier worthy. (Neither are sea cucumbers . . . but)

Going by this, Orcas are already at the top of the list, and you should be satisfied.

Oh whoops, I totally forgot about the title of the thread :)

Somewhat true, except Orcas eat dolphins, just like bears eat dogs, they aren't anywhere near as close as wolves and german shepherds are.
One thing eating another is not relevant to how related they are. Orcas are dolphins. They are both oceanic dolphins in the same clade of the whale phylogenetic tree (http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Palaeofiles/whales/odontoceti.htm#oceandolphins). They're both in the same family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_dolphin). Dogs and bears are related by order (carnivora) but differ in family, which is more distant than orcas and other dolphins (which are related by family) and gray wolves/dogs (which are also related by family). Bears and dogs are both carnivores; that's as closely as they are related. Dogs and gray wolves are canines (same order, same family). Orcas and other oceanic dolphins are delphinidae, aka dolphins (same order, same family).

Why isn't the sperm whale on the list?

Sea Pig has just made the Sea Cucumbers go down to G tier for ugliness.

Now, polar bears may or may not have an advantage on land, but this is about marine animals, right? This shows how a walrus would fare when fighting in water.

While your other videos are quite convincing (even though polar bears kick walrus ***!), I wouldn't put too much stock in this one. Although I love the Animal Face Off videos, they are, to put it simply, absolutely ridiculous.

Yea, I lol'd hard when the walrus attacked the polar bear coming up for water.
