Description
A whale's tail fins run sidewards, not up and down. When they move their tails up and down, it sends the front end of the whale forward. The end of the whale's tail, holds the "fluke", or "tail fins". This provides propulsion by vertical movement, helping the whales swim through the water, and helping researchers identify individuals.
