Reply to comment by somajones in A cougar was observed swimming 1.1 km (0.68 miles) to an uninhabited island in Pugent Sound. Researchers find other records implying mountain lions can swim even farther to hop between islands, likely >2 km. “We are redefining the mountain lion in our minds as an animal that can swim.” by TR_54
All bears are excellent swimmers. They float due to high fat content, and their oily coat, which makes it much easier to swim.
