Wavy Whiskers in Wakes: Explaining the Trail‐Tracking Capabilities of Whisker Arrays on Seal Muzzles

Seals can detect prey up to 180 m away using only their flow‐sensing whiskers. The unique undulating morphology of Phocid seal whiskers reduces vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs), rendering seals highly sensitive to biologically relevant flow stimuli. In this work, digital models of harbor and grey se...
