Fish and cetaceans may use, like mammals, elastic mechanisms to reduce metabolic cost of locomotion. Such energy savings require a detailed tuning of material properties and the dynamics of the system. Bennett et al. (1987, J. Zool., Lond. 211, 177-192) investigated the possibility of energy storage
