Очень интересным способом передвижения является swimming. Some argue that the ability to stay on the water have all the animals. Others believe that many people can not navigate. This issue has not yet been solved by scientists. Which animals do not know how to swim, and which ones are fine swimmers, we will understand this publication.
It is believed that if the animal lives in water, thennature itself gives it the ability to swim. However, this is not quite true. For example, in the depths of the World Ocean there is a fish-bat. It, outwardly practically not differing from other fishes, moves on a bottom, using pectoral fins as legs. Therefore, the question of which animals do not know how to swim can be answered with confidence that it is a bat.
А вот если кто-то станет утверждать, что раки и lobsters can not swim, it will be wrong. In rare cases, these arthropods can swim using their tail. Although crustaceans still prefer to crawl.
When asked which animals do not know how to swim,some respond that cats, rabbits and rabbits. Only such an opinion is deeply mistaken. Cats, for example, can swim, and pretty well. True, not all representatives of this genus like to be in the water. But there are known breeds of cats, for which bathing and swimming is a real pleasure. These are Turkish Vans. It is said that even Siamese cats will not refuse to swim.
Rabbits can stay for some time and even move around the water. But their skills are only enough for a short while. So they can not be called excellent swimmers.
But are hares able to swim if they are so alikeon rabbits? Eyewitnesses claim that yes, they are not only able, but also use their abilities with pleasure. One of the members of the expedition in the Northern Archipelago describes how two curious white hares swam across a rather cold sea strait, whose width exceeded three hundred meters. Having surveyed the island, they decided to return to their mainland, which they did right there.
Many people are confused by the story of his grandfatherMasai and hares. Like, if they are such fine swimmers, why did the long-eared forest jumper during the flooding have to be rescued? In fact, if the rabbits could not swim at all, they would not have reached the logs and chips floating on the water. But you need to understand that the water in the spring in the ice drift is very cold, the animals freeze in it and drown from hypothermia. Therefore, they try to save themselves on logs, stumps and branches.
Here it is quite difficult to answer.Almost all birds adore the wallowing in a puddle. But nobody tried to try to make them swim. There are certain types of land birds that can and do like to swim, for example, dipper from passerine. But most birds do not know how to swim.
But the well-known domestic chicken, which, according to popular belief, is afraid of water, keeps well on its surface and even moves, although not as quickly as geese or ducks.
As practice shows, almost all animals, having got into a certain situation, are trying to survive. And almost everyone can swim. Even such a large land mammal, like an elephant, does not lag behind them.
It would be naive to ask whether pigs can swim. Simply consider the proposed photos.
Probably, those who can swim are still more than those who cannot. Although the question of which animals do not know how to swim, today many claim that they are camels and giraffes.
Some even give a fictional theory thatthe humps of these animals are filled with water, which will surely pull them down. Therefore, a camel, having turned on its back, cannot not only swim, but also to float.
But these are all inventions of people ignorant.Camels swim beautifully, although in the natural conditions of their historic homeland they almost do not manage to see the river. Eyewitnesses claim that even small camels swim fine. And at all, these graceful "ships of the desert" do not roll back. And why would they do that? Indeed, in the humps they do not have water, but fat, and, as is known, it is lighter than water.
The fact that this long mammal loves to wallow in the water has been proven in practice. But to observe how the giraffes are swimming, while no one has yet succeeded.
But scientists made a digital copy of the animal and tried to imitate the process - they did it! So, theoretically, and these beauties will be able to swim.
