This paper proposes an innovative approach of biomimicry of marine animals to produce engineering devices with high efficiency. The biomimicry approach creates an opportunity to improve the hydro/aerodynamic performance of objects moving in fluids. However, the characteristic of each animal is usually made to fulfill its specific task. In contrast, engineering devices may need to achieve more than one objective. Thus, we believed that the biomimicry strategy should not only adopting one feature or process from an animal, but it should combine features from a group of animals. Locomotion and propulsion modes, and hydrodynamic efficiency are briefly discussed in this paper. At the end of this paper, a recommendation of an innovative biomimicry approach is proposed. This approach is expected to facilitate the production of engineering devices with higher efficiency without neglecting other important aspects.
