| Aug 8, 2021 at 21:32 | comment | added | rek | Re: 'Drag swimming is good enough for a get away but for a habitual swimmer it is awful' – the motion in the isopod video I linked doesn't suggest it's only good for short distances or quick bursts (it even holds up to additional weight from the prey), so could you expand on this point a bit? | |
