The commonly known example is the penguin. It has a suborbital gland that converts sodium chloride out of the bloodstream where it's excreted as a brine on the bill. Penguins don't actually drink salt water, but they ingest it while swallowing prey.
maybe?
Penguins have a salt gland, not a sweat gland. The salt gland helps them to excrete excess salt from their bodies, which is particularly useful for penguins that live in marine environments. Sweat glands are not as common in animals that live in cold climates like penguins do.
They survive because their bodies, produce a chemical that filters the water that they drink +++ They don't. You cannot "filter" dissolved salt from water, but you can use osmosis, as do the penguins and other marine animals.
Obviously not, but they did in the movie "surfs up"
Yes, penguins have organs above their eyes. It allows salt water to be converted into fresh water.
No, loggerhead turtles do not need fresh water. They have a specialized tear gland that excretes sodium and potassium. Thus, they are able to 'create' their own fresh water.
any fresh water in their environment would be frozen.
Anphibion. Crabs, Frogs , Iguanas, Penguins, Seals and Walrus.But Penguins,Seals and, Walrus mainly live above the ground. Alligators too i think.
Penguins drink any water they can get access to - fresh or salt. When ashore they will drink fresh water from pools and streams and can sometimes be seen drinking water preened off their backs during rain showers. At sea penguins must drink salt water and they are able to do this because they have special glands abound the eye sockets that extract excess salt from the blood. The excess salt is excreted as a salty fluid through the nasal passages.
Penguins, actually drink any water they can get access to - both fresh or salt. On land, they access any fresh water source (including falling rain, which they get from their feathers, like preening) With regard to salt water, the Penguin drinks that as well! Special glands around the eye sockets, extracts excess salt from the blood. The excess salt is excreted as a salty fluid via the nasal passages. Which is why, Penguins seem to have a runny-nose sometimes.
It converts cold water to hot water.
