tilfinningalegs
Tilfinningalegs, also known as "finning legs" or "flippers," are specialized appendages found in certain marine animals that resemble the fins of fish. These structures are primarily adapted for efficient swimming and maneuverability in aquatic environments. While the term is not widely recognized in scientific literature, it is sometimes used colloquially to describe the limb modifications seen in animals like seals, penguins, and some species of fish.
In marine mammals such as seals and sea lions, the forelimbs have evolved into flippers, reducing drag
Some fish species, particularly those in the order Perciformes, exhibit fin-like extensions on their pelvic or
