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.
