This week, something I had never thought about before popped into my mind.
What do seabirds drink? Well, the obvious answer is water. But then I wondered about seabirds that live in the arctic. All the fresh water they could possibly find would most likely be frozen. So what do they drink? The answer is a little surprising. They drink salt water. Seabirds are equipped with salt glands located above their eyes which gather the salt from the blood stream and then releases it from the nostrils. The densely salty fluid then runs down grooves in the beak and fall back into the ocean. This is another fascinating example of the creator's incredible design. He made these seabirds perfectly to fit into their environment.
