Answer, please: do gorillas and orangs float in water with these air sacs?

Never heard of Ndoki gorillas, my boy?
They float using air sacs????

Think a bit: where do gorillas & orangs have their airsacs?
Yes, my boy, underneath the skin of the neck & shoulders.
4-6 litres.

IOW, you have no evidence of any ape floating around in a swamp using
air sacs for
buoyancy?

:-D
Our netloon now claims that air is heavier than water...

*Evidence*, Marc, *evidence* that they use these sacs to float....

Show us a cite - a picture link, a paper that supports your claim.

Don't run away.
