More than 1,000 Florida manatees died in 2021, threatening to return the friendly sea cows to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s endangered species list. Manatees are a beloved marine animal that ...

Multi-jet propulsion lets a jellyfish-like marine animal switch between speed and efficiency. A gelatinous sea creature could teach engineers a lesson or two. Nanomia bijuga, a marine animal related ...

Competitive swimmers know that swimming underwater causes less drag resistance than swimming at the surface. Splashing around making waves isn’t the most efficient way to swim. Any energy spent ...

Like many air-breathing marine megafauna, green turtles optimise their swim depth during migration to minimise the cost of transport, travelling at around three body-depths beneath the surface in ...

A gelatinous sea creature could teach engineers a lesson or two. Nanomia bijuga, a marine animal related to jellyfish, swims via jet propulsion. A dozen or more squishy structures on its body pump ...
