Contrast how turtles and crocodiles rid themselves of salts obtained through their diets

What will be an ideal response?


Marine reptiles are equipped with salt glands which remove excess salts. In turtles, these glands are above the eyes and can secrete a concentrated salt solution which ends up bathing the eyes. This removes excess body salts; the tears cleanse the eyes. The marine crocodile's salt removal glands are on their tongues.
