Optimization of energy by large aquatic animals (e.g., dolphins, whales, manta) requires adaptations that control hydrodynamic flow to reduce drag, and improve thrust production and efficiency. Although streamlining of the body and appendages minimizes drag, highly derived aquatic animals utilize mechanisms of propulsion and control based on lif...
