11. Detailed whale with fish swimming all around him
In this sea animals coloring page, a whale is gracefully swimming through the ocean, surrounded on all sides by a huge school of hundreds of tiny fish.
Take a close look at the massive, powerful tail of the whale.

17. The great hammerhead shark
We couldn’t compile a list of sea animals coloring sheets without including the great hammerhead shark.
Reaching up to 20 feet and 990 pounds, these sharks are apex predators and may look quite scary, but don’t worry – most hammerheads are solitary and rarely interact with humans.
18. Majestic beta fish coloring page

20. Backwards swimming lobster printable coloring page
Another fascinating sea creature, the lobster can do some amazing things, including regenerate limbs and chew with its stomach!
But the most impressive thing about lobsters is their big claws, as we can see in this coloring sheet.
21. Shrimps swimming in the ocean
Shrimp are excellent swimmers, and in this sea animals printable we can see three shrimp having fun underwater.

22. Easy squid coloring page
If your child loves legends about mythical sea creatures, they’ve probably heard about the giant squid and how scary it is.
That’s not the case here because this coloring page shows a cute little squid that looks friendly and playful.
Squids also have suckers on their tentacles, so we could emphasize those with a bit of glitter or a neon color to make them stand out.
23. Detailed squid pdf sheet to color
Some sea animals look quite similar to each other, but they’re actually separate species.

24. Always funny sea animal – the clownfish
Here’s a familiar face we’re always happy to see! It’s everyone’s favorite cartoon fish, Nemo himself!
This awesome looking clow is the main character from Pixar’s much-adored “Finding Nemo,” and your kid will definitely love coloring him.
Nemo is actually a clownfish – a type of orange clownfish that lives in sea anemones, and we can recognize it by his famous orange coloring and white stripes with black outline.
25. Easy stingray coloring page for kids
Some sea animals look entirely out of this world, and this beautiful stingray is something to marvel at.
Although they look nothing like them, stingrays are related to sharks, and they stand out through their long spine tail, which they also use to defend themselves.
Well, a fun fact about these sea creatures is that their colors reflect the color of the seafloor to camouflage them from predators, so we can use shades like brown and olive green.
