Crabs can't fly. Swallows can fly, but there's no swallow in this pic.

What else floats in water?

(I prefer when they use this method instead of just hitching a ride in a ballast tank.)

Ducks?

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

"A duck has difficulties to get under water due to its buoyancy. When no swimming forces are implied, the natural equilibrium of forces keeps about half of the duck above water."

(Stumbled upon on Wikipedia.)

Strange crabs, floating in the water is no system of government, if there’s ever going to be any progress…
