Explain why forked caudal fins are important adaptations for rover-

predators and lie-in-wait predators.

The design of forked caudal fins enables for good acceleration and maneuvering. Rover and lie-in-wait predators need just that. They need to be fast swimmers, constantly searching for prey or traveling long distances in open waters. Forked caudal fins have less surface area, which means less drag. The less drag they have, the faster they'll accelerate and have advantage to catch prey.
