The foot of Gaviidae sticks behind a body briefly, and a toe connects it in a web. It is useful to swim in the water together, but it put a body on the ground, and a toe, a web are only crawl without can walk the land. It is very good at going into the water and sometimes go more than 50m and can be underwater more than 15 minutes. Because a wing is small, it flap for a long time and run on the surface of the water, and the back finally soars up, but the power to fly is considerably strong, and it grow a neck having a long in the shape of a bow, and it continues being flown for a long time when it fly away once.
