Is there any animal that can walk, swim and fly unaided?

Puffin. Like most birds they can walk and fly. In addition their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique which means that they can swim well under water. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100316121221AAKcoai Mar 12 11, 11:33 AM

I would guess a number of insects may. The water bug can, and possibly the water strider, depending on how you define "swim." http://www.zoo.org/Page.aspx?pid=447 http://animals.howstuffworks.com/insects/water-bug-info.htm Some cockroaches can. http://kids.discovery.com/tell-me/animals/bug-world/roach-world/are-there-any-animals-that-eat-cockroaches http://www.pest-control.com/cockroaches/american-cockroaches/does-the-american-cockroach-fly/ Mar 12 11, 4:23 PM

In fact, any duck, goose or swan, any gull or tern, phalarope, currently available auk (including guillemots and puffins, but not the flightless Great Auk - now extinct), and probably skuas too. Cormorants and shags as well. Divers (loons if you're American) are a bit dubious - they fly and swim, but to describe their land motion as walking is stretching things a bit. Not sure about grebes, but as they're built somewhat like divers (legs very far back under the body), they probably shuffle on their tums like their relations.
