Line 49:
* An old cartoon had a female competitive swimmer win the trophy, we pull back, revealing her to be a mermaid, and she walks away by tip-toeing on her tail fin.
* ''[[Animalympics]]'' has the dolphin Mark Spritz and the orca Ono Nono stand and walk on their flukes.
* The water-fearing mermaid in ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' was guilty of this on occasion. Averted with the older mermaid who was Jake's principal, who hid her tail by using a wheelchair.
* Sometimes played straight and sometimes averted in [[Chuck Jones]]' adaptation of ''[[The White Seal]]''.
* The fish in ''[[Fish Hooks]]'' all stand and walk this way. And yes, their tails look absolutely ''nothing'' like actual fish tails at all!
