Resumen:
We studied swimming ability of the fossorial roden. This roden was not as proficient in swimming as other two sympatric species in the Spanish Pyrenees. We determined that the main factor affecting swimming ability of M. Gerbei is its having thick water resistant fur. The hair of this rodent took longer to wet in cold than temperature water, which suggest that is better adapted to swimming in cooler water.
