locomotion in water

Locomotion in water involves movement by utilizing specialized body parts or appendages to overcome resistance and generate force. Aquatic animals, like fish, use fins and streamlined bodies to glide efficiently, while some, like dolphins, use muscular movements to propel themselves forward. Movement relies on continuous pushing against water to create forward momentum, with body shape reducing drag. The way animals move varies based on their body structure, environment, and speed requirements, all adapted to maximize efficiency and control within the fluid medium.
