They can't fly, but that's okay, because
ostriches have picked up a new skill. According to the Daily Mail U.K., two of the birds were spotted swimming in
the Atlantic Ocean near South Africa.
However, the ocean is a busy place and the
ostriches' relaxing dip was soon interrupted by a fishing boat. The birds
begrudgingly followed the boat back to shore, cutting short their swim time.
While catching an ostrich in the water is a rare sight, researchers say the animal does indulge in the wet stuff every so often. The birds especially enjoy a dip on hot days. They keep afloat by easily treading water with their lengthy legs.
