Anhingas are unique because the spear fish with their beaks while swimming below the surface of the water. By using their wings and feet for propulsion, they can swim as fast as the fish. Because Anhingas must be able to stay below the surface, they do not oil their feathers, so after each dive, they spread their wings to dry in the air.
