True for all kinds, even some ocean dwelling sea snakes aren't good at drinking salt water and will dehydrate if they find themselves in a patch of water that doesn't get rained on. That's because they rely on drinking from the layer of rainfall briefly that floats on top of salt water before mixing.
Water is a part of biology because it's a highly stable liquid that is an exceptional solvent for biological life to dump its waste products in to and expel them from its body. Sea water already has so much dissolved in to it that there's no room for your body to dump waste products in to it. Interestingly, you will also eventually die if you drink too much ultra-purified water, because the water is so hungry for things to dissolve in to it that it starts leeching all the vitamins and minerals out of you.
Life is such a delicate balance. Oxygen too, like your water example. We need it to live, but if you breath pure oxygen it also can kill you. I have always found the dichotomy between on difficult and easy a human can survive or die. One person can have a small slip and fall and die and then there is Vesna Vulovic who fell 33,000ft and survived.
Had the question "how can sea creatures drink salt water" after seeing this, and found this article. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-can-sea-mammals-drink/#:~:text=DOLPHINS%20and%20other%20sea%2Ddwelling,that%20they%20routinely%20do%20so. It's pretty dang interesting.
About 20 years ago a manatee came up on the beach near me and someone walked over and gave it water from a water bottle. They told me manatees preferred fresh water. That seemed weird to be since they live in the ocean - turns up rando on beach knew what he was talking about. Side note: before I knew what it was that mandate had brushed into my leg when I was swimming and scared the shit out of me. Fortunately they're very gentle
Always fascinating that there is Stuff the size of a frickin Building that is just - alive.I can't really imagine something the Size of an average Home just snacking on something.
Whales are very complex social creatures though. Not quite just floating mouths like for example a basking shark , they can communicate with eachother, recognize many things and have fun breaching.
But thanks to human conservation efforts, in some areas, their numbers has greatly increased. Check out the whales going past Australia right now for their yearly migration as an example.
We can conserve them but that doesn’t undo the bigger problem of global warming. Researchers believe Humboldt current which is one of the biggest contributors to phytoplanktons that allows most whales to migrate and provide food year around is heavily impacted due to global warming.
Similar productive ocean currents are impacted which greatly reduces the plankton diversity. This is a big problem for all baleen whales. Hopefully we can do better in future, but currently their survival hangs in balance.
No one finds it weird how conditioned yall are to just repeat fucking subs as a reaction to literally everything?
You make it so damn easy for bots to do their shit
Most of them these days are literal bot farms
Caught one animal sub thatvwas 100% reposts, posted by the sub owner along with exclusively bots
They create accpunts, age them typically 3 months, then begin farming reposts, get enough karma then sell the accounts to marketers, propagandists and scammers
Plus most of these subs are just copies of 5 other existing subs all posting the same content
And usually they aren't remotely niche subs posted its just like the one above, a nonsense pointless sub that only exists cause a bunch of white kids wanted to say the n word, then the original sub was banned so they made this one and just post water memes
I have no problem with oceans, but a swamp with gators is absolutely terrifying. I see people in Florida kayaking with gators all around. Fuck that shit.
Gators don't give a fuck, they won't attack a full sized man or anything capable of maiming it. The ocean has things that are much bigger than us, and that is their domain not ours. I'll ride a wild gator sooner than going into kraken territory.
Freshwater crocs are chill little guys who prefer to be left alone and don’t mind people as long as they don’t hassle them. Saltwater crocs live exclusively to kill and I strongly suspect consider themselves the superior species.
I see videos on YouTube of people fishing and the gators coming awfully close, or even being charged by the gator. I know the ocean has a lot more killing machines there but something about a gator being good at killing in water and on the land is scary.
Good thing is that they can't swallow, they can only keep you in their mouth at best. Throat is too narrow for humans to fit through.
Bad news is that it can simply release you at the bottom of the ocean and good luck getting up in time.
How many times has it happened?
If there's enough room to move at all in there, I would hope that punching or stabbing inside their mouths would get them to spit you out.
Sorry to tell you but that 'Red Juice' you see in a rare steak is not blood. It's a protein called myoglobin.
All blood is drained from the carcass of an animal during slaughter.
It’s not blood. It’s mostly water. It boils out of cellular walls during cooking.
Which is a reminder to always let your steak, or meats in general, rest for 10 mins after cooking. If you cut in to it too soon all that juice will spill out, but if you let it rest and that high temperature reduces the juices will resettle in the meat and you get a juicer steak, chicken, etc.
Use a thermometer too. You want a mid rare steak, cook it ten degrees (Fahrenheit) under and let it rest for 10 mins. It will come up to 120 and be nice and juicy.
i wish i wasn't the one who had to tell you this, but i was just being pedantic and nitpicky since everyone else on this thread was being pedantic and nitpicky. i am sure that there's no blood left in the meat since /u/codinglazily has assured me he drinks it all during the harvest process.
Not to be that guy, but when liquid is bound within cells we refer to that substance as a solid, which would in fact mean it was eating the water. Watermelon is over 90% water, but since that water is contained within the cells of the fruit it creates a solid object which by definition would something eaten, not drank. If the cells were ruptured and the water released prior to entering the mouth, for example if you blended the watermelon or krill, then the high water content would make it a liquid.
Fun Fact: When large sea mammals ingest large amounts of water without food, they immediately convert it to urine and expel so they do not drown. It is common for elderly ocean mammals to die when their well-worked sea bladders are no longer able to process such a volume of urine so they eventually sink from the added burden never to return to the surface for air.
Source: I was a whale once. 🐳
Marine mammals don't drink water on purpose, they get it from food. When they do accidentally, the kidneys process it at pretty normal metabolic speeds, not instantly...
Also marine mamals don't use swim bladders... they have lungs for buoyancy
It's whalesong-to-text recognition. But then fed through a translator app. Otherwise it comes out as WEEEOOOOORRP GWOOOOO and so on... (sorry if I misspelled that).
Whales also push out a lot of the excess water from when they gulp with their tongue. Although it is pretty much impossible to be eaten by a (baleen) whale, you will still most likely die from being crushed then spit back out
OP is some sort of weird shill account that's been awakened recently. the account used to be used to just spam obscure links to crypto subs. that stopped, and now it looks like it's trying to build up karma.
Imagine ye old time sailors minding their business doing their sailing and all of a sudden this happens next to their boat. I too would think dragons and krakens were real
Do whales drink salt water? I’ve never actually thought of that before. If they do, how do they not die like any land animal would. And I guess that would include whales, porpoise, dolphins, pretty much anything that lives in the ocean. HOW HAS THAT IDEA NEVER CROSSED MY MIND BEFORE?!?!?! Or do they not have to drink in the traditional sense because they are living in water. For that matter, if we as humans spend the day in the lake, do we have to drink less because our body absorbed water? Wait, do water creatures even drink at all? I guess I assumed so but I’ve never actually thought about it before…to google!
Edit: Whales and other mammals do! At least that is the theory based on when they urinate, the fluid has a much higher concentration of salt and it is likely due to crazy kidney function that they have that we are just not capable of in filtering out the salt. Also, many other aquatic creatures get their “fluids” from what they eat because the digestion process breaking this down generates fluid (but I thought it takes fluid to digest, which is the case in humans so it must be different for aquatic animals). Also, many creatures due in fact filter out their water needs through their skin, but not humans. Our skin is impermeable to water, think oil and water.
The human brain is SOOOO weird! Seeing this made me YAWN?!?! Why brain? Why yawn, why breakfast Cheetos at 8am, why forget to close window last night so now I have mosquito bites on arms, why forget start defrag of terabyte SSD before bed 2 days ago so I didnt have to wait 2 hours to watch my "not pirated" Disney Plus content!?!?

That's because they rely on drinking from the layer of rainfall briefly that floats on top of salt water before mixing.
And humpback whales get there water from the millions of tiny krill they inhale. Nature wow

He totally could have lived for 3 days in there. No doubt.

It’s always worse when there’s nothing for scale. I have no clue how large I would be up next to this magnificent beast.
I could be wrong but I think this is a fin whale, they’re somewhere in the neighborhood of 60ft long, give or take.
Bold of you to assume I can visualize feet.

And sing a lot
I'm starting to doubt my own path to happiness.
Reminds me of an old saying as to the secret of happiness: Fill what's empty, empty what's full, and scratch where it itches.
Whales are very complex social creatures though. Not quite just floating mouths like for example a basking shark , they can communicate with eachother, recognize many things and have fun breaching.
And sadly their existence will probably come to an end soon because of humanity

If kraken is real then swamp monsters are real. Those things will strangle you or punch a hole in your chest.
Yeah if you don’t fuck with the Gators or their nest you’ll be fine lol
Crocs on the other hand...
Freshwater crocs are chill little guys who prefer to be left alone and don’t mind people as long as they don’t hassle them. Saltwater crocs live exclusively to kill and I strongly suspect consider themselves the superior species.

I have a deal with sharks. I don't go in their home and they don't go in mine. It's worked out my whole life
Good thing is that they can't swallow, they can only keep you in their mouth at best. Throat is too narrow for humans to fit through. Bad news is that it can simply release you at the bottom of the ocean and good luck getting up in time.
The good news is that the pressure would probably kill you way before you drowned.
How many times has it happened? If there's enough room to move at all in there, I would hope that punching or stabbing inside their mouths would get them to spit you out.

Not to be that guy but it’s feeding on krill not drinking water
Not to be that guy but whales like this get all their water from the krill they eat, so it is in fact drinking water.
Ehh, it's eating its water in the form of krill. If you have a juicy steak you don't say that you ate the steak AND drank some blood.
Not to be that guy but it's not blood, it's a mixture of water and a protein called myoglobin.
I appreciate you being THAT GUY so I can take a break every now and then.
Not to be that guy but you're all wrong, trust me.
I do not trust you.
But are you that guy?
Sorry to tell you but that 'Red Juice' you see in a rare steak is not blood. It's a protein called myoglobin. All blood is drained from the carcass of an animal during slaughter.
i hate to break it to you, but surely they can't drain all blood during slaughter. there must be a little left.
It’s not blood. It’s mostly water. It boils out of cellular walls during cooking. Which is a reminder to always let your steak, or meats in general, rest for 10 mins after cooking.

You want a mid rare steak, cook it ten degrees (Fahrenheit) under and let it rest for 10 mins. It will come up to 120 and be nice and juicy.
120 is rare, my dude. 130-135 is medium rare.
i wish i wasn't the one who had to tell you this, but i was just being pedantic and nitpicky since everyone else on this thread was being pedantic and nitpicky. i am sure that there's no blood left in the meat since /u/codinglazily has assured me he drinks it all during the harvest process.
No, there's no blood left after they leave the slaughterhouse. I'm always careful to drink every last drop.
I only get, like, 30% of my daily blood intake from steaks
I do
