Humans. Really. Somebody spooked the kangaroo and it's trying to get away in the only direction it can.

Pretty much all animals can swim, you know.

I've seen a giraffe swim in a document, actually. At least I very much doubt it was CGI to fool the viewers...

Here's something about swimming ostriches:

Gorillas and chimpanzees are notoriously afraid of deep water. Their bones and muscles are too dense to float well.

Pretty much the only animals who can not swim without being taught are large primates (humans, chimps, and gorillas). You are correct. Pretty much every currently existing animal can swim.

I've never seen an ant swim. Or a butterfly.

I'd definitely like to see a tortoise swim. Or a cobra.

Ants form "ant balls" during floods. These floating ant balls function as a living raft for the colony, with the queen in the middle, until the water subsides.

does that really count when the ones on the bottom are probably dead and act like an island?

From a quick google search:

At first hint of rising water, worker ants gather the entire colony into a ball - sometimes as big as a basketball. As the water overtakes the mound, the ball rides the flood like a living raft, rolling in the water so all the members can take turns breathing. When they strike a solid object, be it a swimming dog or your canoe, they quickly swarm aboard.

I've watered ant mounds before. They just swarm out and die due to water tension.

Yeah, but wasn't the assumption that all animals except primates can swim naturally?

I know for sure MOST tortoises sink in water and die.

You'd scream and pray for quick death, because these ant balls are usually made up of the most vicious and evil ants in the world (fire ants, army ants, etc).

What do we mean when we say "swim?" Corals don't "swim," if you want to get technical about it. If we just mean "usually doesn't drown" then I can't really think of anything.

Can sheep and goats swim? Also, I've never seen a rabbit swim, but I'm not familiar enough with these animals.

bees drown quite easily, unless dumb humans pick them out of swimming pools and get stung (like me)
>> Anonymous
>>187759
bees can sting humans only once, cause their stinger rips out with the poison gland and intestines attached.
So, you saved the bee from the horrible death of drowning, to sentence it to the even more horrible death of disembowelment.

nearly all land animals can swim to some extent, and some are remarkable swimmers. Elephants have been seen 50 miles out to sea, they just cruise along underwater with their trunks above the surface like a snorkel.

anything invertebrate not specialized in swimming are among the few that can't swim. Also most birds, bats.

Humans can swim at a very early age. Put a baby in the water and it'll start paddling along. To really swim though we have to practice.

Some apes and monkeys can swim, macaques especially. One group of lowland gorillas in Africa also regularly wade through waist and chest-deep water in a swampy area they call home.

They can swim, they just rarely get the chance. Racing camels are actually trained in Dubai by making them swim in a pool.

Many animals can swim... Who ever does not think so is mildly retarded. Dogs, cats, elephants love to swim, horses, lions, wolves, many lizards can swim, sloths are excellent swimmers, bears...

I would like to point out... That almost every thing I listed, is a mammal.

you shouldn't be escaping from prey? you can escape from the act of being preyed upon. also, it would've sounded better as 'usually don't' than 'don't usually'
