Mimicking humpback whale flippers may improve airplane wing designAnd if we ever found out why those petunias said, "Oh no, not again," we'd understand the universe a lot more.

Whales, expecially the large species, fly all the time. Infact, a swimming whale is virtually an impossibility. The only difference is that the fluid in which they fly is water ....but it is not swimming. The mechanics are very different.
