Do mammals swim?

Dolphins, Porpoises, Whales, Dugongs, Manatees, Hippos, Otters, Seals, Walruses are mammals that are very good at swimming. Most mammals can swim to some degree but there are some that like to swim and others that don't like to swim - like domestic cats. Domestic cats can swim, but they are very unhappy about it. Tigers, that are another cat, love being in water and swim well. Did you know that elephants can swim? They can cross lakes, rivers and sea inlets.

Orangutans, though instinctively not swimmers, can be taught to swim.

What animal has to be taught how to swim?

Humans and chimps are the only mammals that have to be taught how to swim. All other mammals are natural swimmers. Most amphibians can swim, and some reptiles, but reptiles like to be kept dry. Only some birds can swim. Pelacans, Segals, and other birds around water can sit on top of the water, but I think segals can dive under water for food.
