Dolphins' Teeth

Some dolphins have even more teeth than crocodiles. Bottlenose dolphins have between 88 to 100 teeth, and they only get one set of them for the rest of their lives. They don’t use their teeth to chew their food, they use them to catch their food and then they swallow it.

Drinks for dolphins

Dolphins don’t drink ocean water because is too salty for them. If they decided to drink salt water, they would actually use more water trying to get rid of the salt than the water they drank first. Instead, dolphins get all the water they need from the fish they eat. Their kidneys are also adapted to retain as much water as possible. Although they live in water, they live as desert animals with no direct source of drinkable water.
