Is there an animal that can fly and also swim?

Loons. Coots. Several duck species.

The basilisk lizard (also called the Jesus Christ lizard) has the ability to walk on water.\nMore info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basiliscus_basiliscus

A wonderful bird is the pelican,\nIts beak can hold more than its belly can.\n\n:)

There was this one dog or cat (can't remember) who acted like he was swimming when you put him above a body of water.\n\nFor example, they held him over the toilet and he would wave his paws like be was swimming of course he never got wet!\n\nHilarious show!

Cool question. They are gregarious (like groups) wading birds related to other large wading birds such as \nBoatbills, Shoebills, Hammerkops, storks, ibises and spoonbills.\n\nYou can find the scientific classification and their spot in the bird family tree at the link below!

I am willing to bet that you are looking for the Elephant.  There are many sites on the web which have stated that the elephant is the only mammal which can not jump.  This is NOT the truth.\nJust on the Web alone there are several others listed including the okapi, guinea pig and raccoon who are also reported as not being able to jump.  (see references).\nIn the same class as the elephant, both Hippopotamus and Rhinoceroses come closer to skipping than jumping.  Like the elephant, their body mass is too great in relation to their mass.\nIn addition, all bats have weak legs and usually have trouble walking, let alone jumping.\nIt has been recorded that sloths move too slow to jump.  Plus they seldom climb down out of their trees.\nGiraffes are known to run, but apparently always have one “foot on the ground.”  Due to their neck structure, it may not be possible for them to jump in the usual meaning of the word.\nDue to their odd physical shapes and relatively slow speeds, echidna (spiny anteater), \nduck-billed platypus and koala might also be listed among the non-jumpers.\nFinally, there are the non-land mammals most of which can come at least part way out of the water, but none have legs and by definition, can not jump.  These would include whales, porpoises, dolphins, manatees and maybe even sea lions.

FLY like a BIRD!!!\nbecause swimming like a fish has restrictions... if there's no water.. you cant swim anymore... unlike flying... you will have unlimited access over things and creatures!!!!

Not without human involvement.\n\nThere was the great auk, a species of flightless bird which occupies much the same ecological niche in northern Atlantic, which was the original bearer of the name "penguin". Its smaller cousins, the auks, retain the ability to fly.

They did find a creature recently, in Indonesia though. Don't know anything about one in Brazil.\n\nhttp://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=creature+indonesia&c=

Some are so small and weightless that they can actually walk on water. Others can make an air bubble and submerge themselves under water with that bubble to breathe in order to get food.\nIt's amazing what the Discovery Channel can teach you.

Yes. They could fly inside a space shuttle. Birds would have a hard time adjusting to the lack of gravity though, and would look funny trying to fly. Assuming there would be the normal amount of air inside the shuttle, the wings would be effective as they would push some air around.

Arthropods have segmentation and jointed appendages (which some can use for exciting things like... flying or walking).\n\nhttp://www.sidwell.edu/us/science/vlb5/Labs/Classification_Lab/Eukarya/Animalia/\n\nor \n\nhttp://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/arthropods_toc_01\n\nCheers -

No, all animals do not breathe like us.\n\nBirds for example have an very different arrangement to their lungs. You and I have to take a breath in to absorb air and then take a  breathe in and then breathe out to expel it. A bird takes a breath in and a breath out at the same time. Every breath for a bird absorbs air and expels used air at the same time. That makes birds far more efficient at breathing than a human and also makes them far better at singing since they can make sound even while breathing in if they wish.\n\nMost land animals don't even have lungs and don't need to draw air into their bodies. Instead they absorb air directly  through their skin.\n\nEven something as similar to us as a frog can breathe mostly thorough its skin. All frogs have lungs that they can use to breathe but the lungs are used mainly for when the whether is dry. Many species of frogs have very small lungs, and the lungs can be surgically removed without having any effects at all on the frog. So long as the skin is kept wet a frog is perfectly capable of breathing through its skin.\n\nAnimals like slugs, snails and worms also breathe through their skin.\n\nIn the case of worms they have no other organs to breathe with. They are entirely dependent on their skin to breathe and the skin has to be kept wet or they suffocate.\n\nSnails breathe not just through their skin but also through a set of gills tucked up under the shell. It might seem strange that a land animal would use gills to breathe, but snails evolved from sea animals and have retained the same method of breathing.\n\nSpiders also use what is really a modified gill in order to breathe. The gill consists of a set of plates, like the pages in a book, hanging inside a pouch on the back segment of their body.\n\nInsects can't breathe very much through their skins, but they don't breathe through their mouths like we do. They instead have a series of holes along their sides that they use to breathe through. Those holes are connected to a series of pipes that run right through the animal. Imagine a person with holes in their side the size of the cardboard roles from toilet paper. You could see right into the holes all the way to the heart or guts, and those holes are the way that air gets into the body. Insects use pretty much that method. It's pretty , weird but it works for them.\n\nThere are many other ways that land animals breathe, but those are the main ones. Either they breathe through their skins like frogs or worms do, the have modified gills like snails or spiders or they have tubes running through their bodies as insects do.

Birds, Definitely. birds, being warm blooded, are much closer to mammals than amphibians. Amphibians only show the faintest glimmer of an R-Complex, known in your brain as a cerebellum - the reptilian part of the brain. Birds, by contrast, have a highly developed R-complex and even show the beginnings of a cerebrum (the big lumpy part of your brain that handles all that rational though stuff). Can you imagine a frog or a salamander uttering, "Polly wants a cracker?" >:)

Some of them are buoyant and sleep floating on the surface breathing air. Others can do what in humans is comparable to the "dead man's float" where you are under the water motionless then tilt your head back only, rise to the surface to breathe, tilt it back and resubmerge. Hippos can do this without ever waking up so I assume some marine mammals can too.

My pet Emu -Larry- says you are mistaken. In reality birds do not fly. See, you were outside, enjoying a lovely day when you stumbled upon a group of kids playing in the park. What you saw was nothing more than a fowl ball.
