Osmoregulation in Crocodilians [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1989 Recent crocodilians live primarily in freshwater habitats. However two species ( Crocodylus acutus and C. porosus ) are estuarine specialists; two others ( C. niloticus and C. johnstoni ) that are primarily found in fresh water, have estuarine populations. Routes of uptake of water and sodium include drinking, feeding and associated incidental drinking,
