Crocodilians, including the alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis), perform a spinning maneuver to subdue and dismember prey. The spinning maneuver, which is referred to as the 'death roll', involves rapid rotation about the longitudinal axis of the body. High-speed videos were taken of juvenile alligators ( mean length= 0.29 m) performing death rolls in water after biting onto a pliable target. Spinning was initiated after the fore- and hindlimbs were appressed against the body and the head and tail were canted with respect to the longitudinal body axis. With respect to the body axis, the head and tail bending averaged 49.2 …

Swimming Kinematics Of The Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris): Hydrodynamic Analysis Of An Undulatory Mammalian Swimmer, T Kojeszewski, Frank E. Fish
Swimming Kinematics Of The Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris): Hydrodynamic Analysis Of An Undulatory Mammalian Swimmer, T Kojeszewski, Frank E. Fish
Frank E. Fish
The submerged swimming of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), a subspecies of the West Indian manatee, was studied by filming individuals as they swam rectilinearly in a large pool at several rehabilitation centers. The swimming was analyzed using videography to detail the kinematics in conjunction with a hydromechanical model to determine the power output (P-t) and propulsive efficiency (eta(p)). Manatees swam at velocities of 0.06 - 1.14 m s(-1). Locomotion was accomplished by undulation of the body and caudal fluke. Undulatory locomotion is a rapid and relatively high-powered propulsive mode involved in cruising and migrating by a variety of …
