Title: Drinking seawater to survive Written by: duddy on May 9, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_09_05_14_3_44_41.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=16166) A seagull on a glass roof looking really cute. Seagulls are able to drink seawater to survive thanks to salt glands just above their eyes. These glands eliminate excess salt from the seawater and flush it out of the birds' nostrils in liquid form, an action that's often mistaken for a sneeze. Comments: It would indeed solve a lot of issues. Written by: duddy on Jun 6, 2014 Could be a useful survival mechanism for humans. Written by: Quantum Spark on Jun 5, 2014 |
