HELP-Water Conservation?

i am supposed to write an essay on the water conservation of terrestrial animals (those that dont live in aquatic environments) and i was wondering if anyone knew how they conserve water in their bodies.

 

by not peeing.

 

haha i dont think i can stretch that into a page long essay lol

 

desert turtoises by far some of the most effective desert animals conserve water by storing it in their bladders, certain varieties of rodents may never drink water in their lives, but will get all their fluid from the foods they eat, there is a variety of toad in australia that stores all the water it needs for 6 mos in a sac off it's esophogus, it then hibernates


look at desert creatures, they're a wealth of info...

 

thanks quest techie! i appreciate the help i might be able to turn my paper around now before tomorrow lol
