On the topic of organic-versions of mechanical locomotion,
Now aside from maybe an organism that has a MASSIVE flatulence problem, is it theoretically possible to an organic version of a jet engine (the ones you see on rockets and jets)?
Thought I'd move this post for thread consitency. I hope I wasn't too fast with this.

Thanks, I guess it made sense

Its easy... have a mouth (or hole) that looks like a belgium howle that intakes air and behind it a butt (or hole) that looks like the back of an egine and some sort of mechanism that forces air tru... thus pushing u like a jet...

You make it sound so simple. But what mechanism would be able to push through air powerful enough to become a jet.

Squids can do it in water. I think such a creature would only exist in a planet with a thick soupy atmosphere.

It's on the edge of necroposting (I'm such a bad person, sorry >3<) but I came up with an idea to make that possible !
The creature has one air intake and one propulsion hole, but two engines in the form of two sacks surronded by extremely strong muscles.
To propel itself, the creature fills (trough the air intakes) and empties (trough the propulsion hole) the two sacks, alternativly, so it is always pushing itself forward !
