humpback whales
-
Many of the whale’s sensory and reproductive organs have been internalized to reduce drag while swimming.
whales do not have external ears,
-
-
Their powerful flukes, a modified 15-foot wide tail, propel them through the water.
Humpbacks have the longest flippers (pectoral fins) of any whale, and the leading edge of the fin has ridges that increase their hydrodynamic efficiency.

Each whale has a nasal opening on the top of its head that allows it to exhale efficiently and inhale without lifting its head out of the water.
To maintain body temperature, all whales have blubber. Blubber is a highly specialized skin adaptation where fat cells are trapped in a mesh of collagen. Their large body size (40-45 feet) and torpedo shape also helps reduce heat transfer because they have little surface area compared to their body volume. With lots of mass to produce heat and little surface area to transfer it, humpbacks lose heat more slowly. In fact, in warm tropical water whales must keep from overheating by sending blood to their flukes and pectoral fins to allow heat to transfer to the water.

manta ray
It’s wing like fins on both sides of its body allow it so gracefully glide through the water and above reefs with ease. unlike is cousin the sting ray, manta rays have grown wing like pectoral fins on both sides of its body. So the manta rays really fly through the water.
Manta Rays have huge mouths that can consume large amounts of food at a time. Manta consume on average thirteen percent of there body weight which means that they need a large mouth to get the amount of food they need to survive.
The big flaps on both sides of its mouth is helps guide the food into its mouth. This help it survive in the water because it has no arms or claws to capture prey. When its fins are down (like in the picture) it is going to eat.
Manta rays go to "cleaning stations" on coral reefs to rid themselves of crustations and external parasites. Like barnacles. At these cleaning stations cleaner fish pick off and eat the attached parasites. While butterfly fish take care of their bite marks.

hammer head shark
Hammerhead sharks have adapted to have sleek and aerodynamic bodies. This allows them to not only swim fast (at speeds clocked at 25 miles per hour), but it also allows them to make quick and sharp turns to both catch prey and avoid predators.
