New research combines cutting-edge engineering with animal behavior to explain the origins of efficient swimming in Nature’s underwater acrobats: Seals and Sea Lions.
Seals and sea lions are fast swimming ocean predators that use their flippers to literally fly through the water. But not all seals are the same: some swim with their front flippers while others propel themselves with their back feet.
