In whales we nave an entirely diff
ferent state of affairs, the tail being
set transversely instead of vertically,
says a writer in Outing.
The reason for this is concealed in
long ages Of evolution. Fishes have
always been as they are now, aquatic,
but the ancestors of whales and dol
phins lived on dry land, where they
crawled about on four good feet When,
for some reason these creatures OF old
took to the water, they probably did
not plunge at once into the open ocean,
where their descendants now live, but
waded and padded along in the shall
lows and marshes of the shore Here
vertical tail would certainly be in
the way, while horizontal one might
be used advantageously We must not
forget also that whales breathe air as
We do, and that is more necessary
for them to shoot quickly up from the
dark ocean depths to the surface than
to turn, fish-like, from side to side
