We see a piece of bread and ducks move fast on the water to hunt, how do they move so fast? It can't be said that ducks "swim", it seems they reman especially to move on the water with the legs. However, they have studied this technique and have concluded that the movement of ducks is more complex than that of paddling. For biophysicists, the climbing and lowering movement of divers with fins combines the rowing of ducks. Other animals may use the same technique, such as frogs.
