Well, it depends on how you classify "legs"
"Onto the question of non-swimming species. I think the assumption that camels can't swim may come from the fact that there is little deep water in their natural desert habitats in Africa and Asia, so why would they ever need to? But then I've spent time on a couple of islands surrounded by deep water where most of the human inhabitants were non-swimmers. It might be said that humans, as a natural function, can't swim. I made a quick call to the mammal curator of the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tom Silva (you remember him from my "Can Elephants Jump" column). According to Tom, most large primates such as gorillas and orangutans cannot swim because their centers of gravity are in their necks and sternums. "They sink like stones," says Tom. "

Elephants can swim. They happen to be very bouyant in water.
I have netted out a lot of mice from my pool, leading me to believe they cannot swim.
