Imagine you're wearing a special kind of shoe that repels water, like a super slippery boot. Ducks have something similar on their feet! When they walk, the water doesn’t stick to them as much, so it acts like a spring underneath. That helps them float and even walk on top of water without sinking. It's like walking on a trampoline made of tiny bubbles.
Examples
- A duck steps on a lake, like walking on a trampoline made of bubbles.

- Your dog tries to walk across the pond but slips into the water.
