This is amazing. I have never thought about water consumption processes before. Good bit of trivia to know.

Interesting. But the question asks which animal can turn saltwater into freshwater and the answer is none, but penguins can remove salt from their blood. 🥴

Clueless8673, Exactly! Wrong wording.

Davy, Livingston, do you ever bother reading the Wikipedia articles before criticising it? I've seen you do it a few times now and each time you're wrong. The question is set by someone else who then copies text from wiki, often skewing it. In this case, wiki makes no reference to "converting saltwater to fresh water" but the explanation taken from wiki is fair. The fault is with the question setter, not wiki.

This explanation makes no sense. The gland may regulatw the penguins salt level in the blood, but does not filter water or convert salt water to fresh.

The question stumped me due to the wording. Had it been worded appropriately, a lot of the comments wouldn't be so critical

Wiki says: The penguin excretes the salt byproduct as a brine through its bill. Often, the fluid drips out, and this gives the appearance of a runny nose. However, the fluid may also be sneezed out. In the absence of saltwater, caused by captivity, the supraorbital gland will lie dormant as it has no other purpose. Interesting…
