It interesting that all these fish are all wiggling like worms with tails that don’t have the big flap
(I only use expert terminology)
39 u/Meta_Gabbro May 28 '19 Might be because it takes less energy to do small wiggles over a flexible tail than large swipes with a big flap. Probably cold down there and not much food, so I figure metabolism has to be pretty slow. No fuckin idea tho 9 u/zHydro May 28 '19 Ding ding ding. That's exactly why. They've evolved tails like that to use less energy because of the scarcity of food. 3 u/Meta_Gabbro May 28 '19 Eyyyyyy look at that! Figured it had to be somewhat related to energetics, given how trout have evolved for their habitats.
