Corrected entry: After Dr. Hasslein shoots the baby chimp, Zira pushes the baby over the side of the ship. The baby chimp lands in the water and floats. It floats as if it were made of plastic and weighed nothing. Had it been a real chimpanzee baby it would have had some weight to it and gone under water.

Correction: Not really. Bodies don't immediately sink once they hit water. Some may float for hours.
