Whenever I see this picture I think of this:
| Creature | Swims | Walks | Flies |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Dog | X | X | |
| Fish | X | | |
| Bird | | X | X |
| Duck | X | X | X |
Notice how for each combination of swimming, walking and flying, there is a living creature that can do just that, with the exception of swimming and flying.
Sure there are flying fish, but they glide rather than fly. Did evolution really forget to cover this niche?
They don’t really fly though, just glide a short distance after a jump.
Falling, with style!
That’s more than I do.
Same. I can’t even swim.
If they actually generate lift I’d call it flying, but I don’t know if they do
Gliding requires lift, but the lift they generate is mostly generated while they’re still in the water as far as I know.
