What's an animal that can swim underwater, run on land, and fly in the air?
Mythological or not. Just curious

A duck can. They dive under water.Firestrider said:What's an animal that can swim underwater, run on land, and fly in the air?

Good choice. You're quite wise for one so young.yomamma said:This is a tough decision. It's (probably) Tsu and Ivan vs. Moonbear. Both sides have 1 mentor and 1 sisterhood member...
I'm going neutral
I guess I'm playing by New Jersey rules. They must be different from the other coast.JasonRox said:I thought when you jinxed someone they couldn't talk and if they do, then they owe you a coke.

These animals have evolved to have unique adaptations that allow them to move efficiently in each environment. For example, their streamlined bodies and webbed feet help them swim, their strong legs and flexible joints help them run, and their lightweight wings and aerodynamic shape help them fly.
Some common examples include birds such as ducks, geese, and swans, as well as mammals like dolphins, seals, and otters. Some insects, like dragonflies and water striders, also have the ability to swim, run, and fly.
Animals that can swim, run, and fly have adapted respiratory systems that allow them to breathe in each environment. For example, aquatic animals have gills to extract oxygen from water, while land animals have lungs to breathe air. Flying animals have a specialized respiratory system that allows them to take in enough oxygen while flying at high altitudes.
Having the ability to move in multiple environments allows animals to access different food sources and habitats, increasing their chances of survival. It also allows them to escape predators and find mates more easily. Additionally, being able to fly can save energy and help animals cover large distances quickly.
No, not all animals have the physical adaptations to be able to swim, run, and fly. These abilities are only found in certain species that have evolved to have these unique adaptations. However, many animals have the ability to move in at least two of these environments, such as land animals that can also swim, or flying animals that can also run.
