Whales are the largest species in the ocean and scientist argue their impressive gliding motion and amazed by their mathematics and energy conservation. They travel in three dimensions mathematics factors of movement. Professor Adrian Gleiss from Swansea University state that one of the important factors for animal movement is travel speed, which shows the amount energy an animal uses, the distance it will travel and how often resources are encountered. Brad Norman experimented the movements of whale sharks by attaching animal-borne motion sensors to the free-swimming whale sharks for calculating their swimming activity and vertical movement. The data they collected revealed that they had two broad movement modes, which was the shallow ascent angles and steeper ascent angles. Therefore, geometry has a great role in movement strategies for animals that move in 3-dimensions, especially whale
