Is it true that saltwater crocodiles live in seawater and excrete excess salt through glands in their tongues?
Yes. A peer-reviewed study states that saltwater crocodiles possess lingual salt glands that remove excess sodium and chloride accumulated from living in salt water, and a reference source confirms they have salt glands enabling survival in saltwater and travel in the ocean.
