10Dolphins do not drink water
Although they live in (mostly salt) water throughout their lives, dolphins never drink any amount of water. You may be wondering how is it possible for a creature living in water not to drink any of it. Interestingly enough, dolphins are actually allergic to seawater, developing serious health conditions every time they accidentally drink any of the water around them. They do, however, consume water, by taking it from the fish and squid they eat thanks to their specially evolved stomach.
