Question About the Slime Sea

A random question about the Slime Sea...
The other day, I was clearing out a corral which I had shortsightedly filled with Hunter-Saber largos (at the time of creating the corral I didn't know how irritating it would be trying to feed a pen of carnivorous slimes which could turn feral and murder me ant any moment), dealing with them by shooting them into the Slime Sea. I of course could have just dealt with them via a Tarr outbreak, but I fancy myself a better person than that. Besides, the Slimepedia says that slimes that enter the sea just swim away somewhere else anyway, so...
Anyway, I finished clearing them out by firing them all into the sea, all of them, and take note of the fact that I was in The Overgrowth, firing out towards the sea next to The Docks. I saw all of them become completely submerged, none of them escaped or anything, and I went on with what I was doing.
Either the same in-game day or the day after, I found myself walking through the Dry Reef, relatively close to the Ranch, yet on the other side of where I had released all of my largos. And there, near the bridge to the island with the first Pink Gordo, was a Hunter-Saber largo. It should go without saying that neither of those slime species appear anywhere near the Dry Reef, so it was unmistakably one of the ones I released... yet I had seen them all land in the sea, and on the opposite end of the area to boot. None of them had ever escaped, and even if one had without my knowing, there's no way it could've made its way all the way into the middle of the Reef from The Overgrowth.
I checked the wiki, didn't see anything to suggest that this kind of thing could happen, but I don't see any other way this could have occurred unless the Slimepedia page is serious- that slimes actually will return to land when shot into the sea.
Has this happened to anyone else? I'm curious about what's going on. Also, if this is actually just a well-known thing that I wasn't aware of, then someone should really update the wiki with this info.
