Dolphins use their flukes for propulsion through the water. Fish move their tailfins from right to left (side-to-side). Conversely, dolphins move their flukes up and down (dorsal-ventral). These movements are powered by a very strong muscle called the peduncle and allow bottlenose dolphins to swim upwards of 20 mph!
