Small animals shake the fastest in order to generate the force required to overcome the surface tension that holds water to fur, whereas large animals — whose size makes it easier to generate sufficient force — move slower to reach a comparable degree of dryness.
The science of the wet-dog shake – depending on how much skin it has to shake around, each animal balances its mass and size to optimize the drying process with minimal energy spent.
