A student in my class once asked, do fish ever get thirsty? I was 15 at the time, and I remember my science teacher struggling to answer the question.

Here's the best possible answer I can give you -- it all depends whether the fish is a saltwater fish or a freshwater fish.

Notice how the fresh water fish actually obtains H2O via the food it consumes, not through drinking. Whereas the saltwater fish actually drinks the water can hence has highly concentrated urine.
