  • @MrDevin712 I was told in Biology that the organism produces a oil substance that forces them up off the water surface, which in turn means they are not actually floating, you can see the oil reflecting off the water from 1:56, hope that helps :)

  • @MrDevin712 They have hairs bout around their legs that make air tight pockets that hold air causeing them to stay dry and to be able to float, and that adds to their speed :)

  • How do they float please answer.
