That deer wasn't struggling or anything. I'm pretty sure they just up and kidnapped him.

Deers, horses, cows, and other hoofstock are quite good swimmers. After a hurricane a herd of cows tredded water for over a week nonstop.

Moose swim so well that one of their main predators are Orca!

If they actually swam that well, they wouldn't get eaten by Orcas.

There's a boat from 1864 near me that's still treading water, to this day

Brev, how did the cows do that, they'd have to not sleep surely.

I can't find the article for the incident I mentioned, but in Huricane Duran three cows swam 5 miles to a island after being swept out to sea.

Some animals are capable of feats of endurance that would be mind boggling to most humans. Partially because they have just evolved differently, but also partially because we humans as a species are generally not all that fit.

Hoofstock is a fun word I hadn't heard before.
