   May 20, 2024 · Young sea lions will clap their flippers together vigorously when playing with one another. This appears to be a form of practice for using claps in social communication as adults. The clapping may also help strengthen social bonds between juveniles (Peterson and Bartholomew, 1967). How Do Sea Lions Produce the Clapping Sound?

   Nov 7, 2014 · Videography is used to study foreflipper kinematics using a high definition camera (JVC GC-PX100BU) filming the sea lions at frames per second (fps). A stationary camera passively observes the sea lions while they swim freely in their habitat. Claps are analyzed when the flipper faces the camera during the thrust phase.

   How do California sea lions clap?

   • The California sea lion, however, relies predominantly on its foreflippers for thrust production. The large flippers move through the water in a clapping motion that ends with each flipper adducted against the animalʼs torso. The clapping motion involves more than one rotation axis, allowed for by the multiple degrees of freedom flipper.

   How long does it take to film a sea lion clapping?

   • That’s why she and her team of researchers have spent hours filming captive sea lions at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, trying to get clear video footage of the animals clapping so they can examine the way their flippers move from frame to frame. Two hours of filming usually yields about two or three minutes of useful footage.

   How does a sea lion clap work?

   • The clap begins with relatively high values, as the flipper is raised above the sea lionʼs body. The C2 values then begin to decrease, as the flipper is lowered during the thrust phase, and finally drop below zero toward the end of the clap.

   Do sea lions clap?

   • But sea lions use their fore-flippers. What’s more, they’re very good at it. One clap generates enough thrust to let a sea lion glide through the water, leaving it free to twist or roll with very little additional movement.

   Why does a sea lion Clap a flipper?

   • In them, you can see that a sea lion’s flipper twists as it claps. Leftwich thinks that the twist might help cup the water in front of the sea lion and push it backwards so that the sea lion can shoot forwards, the same way a human does when swimming freestyle or breaststroke.

   How do sea lions flap their tails?

   • For fish, that means they flap their tails side to side continually. Aquatic mammals flap up and down. In both, every flap takes about the same amount of time. Instead, in sea lions, each clap of the flipper is followed by a prolonged glide — particularly unusual for large, high-thrust-producing swimmers.
