DUCK FEET AND TEETH

The hydrodynamics of ducks feet are truly amazing.  When pushed back, for propelling forward in water, the web between their toes spreads for thrust.  When drawn forward the web closes lessening drag.  Once out of the water they are not Olympic runners but do manage to waddle about and forage for a meal.
