Floating like a blimp wouldn't be a practical means for an animal to escape danger, but it might be a credible way for an animal to travel long distances, such as migrations. | |

At 45 lbs of lift for 1000 cu ft (from one internet source, presumably at typical earth ground-level atmosphere) a typical songbird would need one or two cubic feet. Also very credible would be a plant species that distributes seeds (or even relocates itself whole) this way. | |
