According to the Times of Oman, camels swimming in the ocean is not uncommon.

"Camels usually cross the sea themselves to move from one area to another, sometimes crossing a path from Masirah Island to Shannah, which is approximately 10 km long," said Salleh Al Jafari, a local from Al Sharqiyah.

Elephants are also known for their ability to swim in deep water.

"They're very good swimmers," said Avinash Krishnan, a research officer with the conservation group A Rocha, in an unrelated incident. "Swimming about 15km (3 miles) from the shore is not unusual for an elephant."
