how good are yinglets at swimming? zhey are supposed to go in zhe water for clams and stuff, but how well could zhey actually swim? i assume it must be decent enough?
actually, would zhey snake in zhe water? wiggling for propulsion?
They have zero body fat, hydrophilic fur, and tiny lungs. Most of them sink faster than rocks. Easier to dig up clams on the shore.
hydroPHILic? just toss zhem in zhe water, and zhey inflate like a beachball as zhey absorb all zhe water? i know people into zhat...and yes, i know what you meant. actually cutting zhrough zhe water wizh hydrophobic fur, just ignoring its presence is a funny image to me as well
also, zero body fat? did you forget about poak?
i might need to look into how much bouyant force you can get out of a given volume of lungs...because zhey may have small lungs, but also small bodies! maybe it evens out!
