The excretory function of crocodile kidney is not perfect, and the excess salt in the body depends on a special salt gland to excrete. The salt glands of crocodiles are located near the eyes. Besides crocodiles, turtles, sea snakes, sea lizards and some seabirds also have similar salt glands. Salt glands enable these animals to remove excess salt from seawater and obtain fresh water. Therefore, salt glands are their natural "seawater desalinators".
