As he watched them, he noticed something odd.
Why were these little ducklings so obsessed with their water basin, yet only dipped their beaks into it?
Even when they flapped their wings and jumped in by accident, they quickly leapt out.
He hadn't seen a single duckling floating or paddling on the water's surface.
At first, Go Okrim thought maybe the water temperature or depth wasn't suitable.
But no matter how many times he changed the water, none of the ducklings floated on the surface.
His suspicion grew.
Finally, he grabbed a few ducklings and placed them directly in the water.
What he saw utterly shattered his understanding of ducks.
These little ducklings either bolted away from the water at lightning speed or flipped headfirst into the water like capsized boats, their little webbed feet flailing uselessly above the surface.
The ducklings couldn't swim!
This stumped Go Okrim.
