While we are on the subject of animals, why not whales, dolphins, or sea lions for the sea? Make them as ships and give them a jumping animation as they move through the water......sound feesable in theory right?
I remember working on gulls a couple years ago for CFS3 and they turned out great. Using the same concept as fly_zo stated........wierd FM and circling animation. If I can remember, we made one flock circle clockwise and the other counter clockwise.......placing them next to eachother created a pretty cool effect. It was great for CFS3.....but thats a totally different game engine, I think the theory is spot on though.
