Nature Notes: Moving Along
By Peggy B.
A fish's tail is a "rudder" (vertical) for fast zig-zagging for chasing prey or avoiding predators. A whale's tail, however, is a "hydrofoil" and moves up and down. The explanation is that it helps the whale go down to feed and up for air to breath. # # # #
Nature Note: Salmon
Salmon characteristically swim from saltwater to freshwater to spawn. Pacific salmon die after spawning, but Atlantic salmon often return to the sea and spawn again in a year or two. # # # #
Karate
