Each has every attribute that a mammal does (it breathes air, it suckles its young, it is warm-blooded, and so on), but each also has its own special features (a horse has hooves, unlike a whale has flippers and a fluke).

Nadadeira Posterior
From reference below:
"Nadadeira Posterior ou Cauda: São duas nadadeiras posteriores que constituem a cauda do Golfinho. São achatadas e horizontais e consistem de tenões e fibras sem ossos. A função destas nadadeiras é servirem de pás para impulsionar o movimento do Golfinho."
