Ducks Diving for Mussels | Planet Earth | BBC Earth

In the Arctic circle, ducks take advantage of permanent holes in the sea ice, fighting the fierce ocean currents to dive 10 metres down and reach the rich layer of mussels that populate the sea floor. Beautiful underwater filming from BBC natural history masterpiece, Planet Earth.

Ducks and geese are the few animals I know that can do air, land, and sea. How cool is that?

[@kaelhooten8468]

Underrated creatures for sure.

[@junegaishin3181]

I agree, so versatile.

I just saw some ducks diving in a lake and was really confused at first

[@PJV1990]

Anyone who says they don't like ducks is not to be trusted.

[@justanotherguy312]

The way a duck hunts is first they land on the water. Then they do a nose dive. There might be new boats (new tech) not available yet capable of maneuvering a duck dive to attack submersibles. When the duck isn’t diving his bottom half is in the air with legs sticking up. New tech might appear as a boat but have a duck foraging for food underneath. A is the nature of the duck. Possible new tech might not be designed to attack submersibles but to retrieve. Like the duck the new might be able to only retrieve in certain parts of bodies of water in comparison to where there is constant sustainable resource throughout cycles. The moon cycles etc affect the gravity of the oceans. Keeping in mind that these correlations can easily help other countries defensive improve.

lol!

[@Rocker742]

Attenborough is mai waifu

[@74kyB]

How is it they float up like rockets? If I did that in the water, I'll kinda float up half way from the pool floor and kinda get stuck mid way, unless I kick/paddle. How do they do that?

[@platypusmammal2073]

Avians are naturally lighter than other species. Their bones are often hollow and contain air. So these ducks will naturally have a much larger acceleration when surfacing than a heavy boned human ;)

[@Fran_Tluanga]

plus the shape of their body is doing the work

[@thelordandsaviorgigachadrr888]

They have airsacs to help them with swimming. They also have oil glands to help them swim

[@macbrycekong3940]

I Found out that if you have more fat you will Float better in water. trust me 2018 and 2019 were the years I weighed the most I ever did in my Hole entire Life and I swim. But I Also Observed that if there's more Air in your Lungs the more likely you will Float.
