a. thick layer of blubber

Explanation: Most marine mammals (whales, seals, walruses, sea lions, manatees, etc.) have a thick layer of blubber for insulation, energy storage and buoyancy. Fur and webbed feet occur in some species (e.g., sea otters, otariid seals), and blowholes are on top of cetacean heads, not the sides.
