While hundreds of thousands of youngsters must go through a learning period of thrashing clumsily about in river, lake, ocean surf or pool, less resource ful lower animals seem to have built-in swimming ability. Most land animals, when the need arises, can propel themselves in water, some with agility, some awkwardly. The hare and hedgehog some times take voluntarily to water, says the' National Geographic Society. The mighty moose swims well. Bats can hold up on watery surfaces. Ermine navigate proficiently. Monkevs Can Bathe In Puerto Rico a colony cf monkeys bathes along the sea shore, and in Washington some years ago, an escaped monkey Dluneed into the Potomac Kiver and eluded a pursuing rowboat for more than an hcur. Rivers present no problem for the 15-nound Texas armaamo The armored beast swims wide creeks but walks across the bot torn of narrow streams. The star-nosed mol-3, with its 22 fleshv tentacles, has a flair for aauatics. occasionally mov iner under ice. A resident of Canada and the United States, the restless mole swims among flooded cattails and probes the ground for worms. The four-inch-long brown lemmings, arctic inhabitants of old and new worlds, are dogged swimmers, lawny, witn snon tails and furry feet, the crea tures sometimes assemble in the millions to migrate.

When reaching the sea, as in Norway, they plunge in and, acting on some mysterious irrmulse. swim away to deatn. The brawniest hieguaras can 1 compare with a polar bear in water. Occasionally, after the season retreat of ice, the big white bears are seen in open sea far off the Labrador coast. A wounded female once swam rom danger while shielding a cub twice the size or a New foundland dog between her fore legs. One ship's company watched a bear climb an up- tilted ice pan, he on its side and slide 40 feet headfirst to a watery splash. Other Stout Swimmers The solitary mink is equally at home raiding thickets and henhouses for food or seeking its fill with otterlike ease: under water. - . j- , But such compatibility 'with water isn't shared by the skunk. Onlv infreauently does it swim streams or rivers voluntarily motivated probably by an urge for new feeding grounds. Barren Ground caribou swim the Yukon in such numbers their antlers suggest strange growth waving in the water. Ot ters, like many swim-loving neonle. nerform acrobatics, slid ing down steep banks into the water. In sharp contrast, one au thority points out that the gor illa, lar gibbon and chimpanzee, live a hieh and dry life. None can swim. The gibbon won't even lower its head .to drink, preferring to dip its fingers. Why water bothers the gorilla and Chimpanzee is one of Nature's mysteries. STOKELY S WHOLE UNPEELED .
