Here are 5 animals that don't drink water

Native to arid regions, kangaroo rats get all their moisture from the seeds they eat and can survive without drinking water.

Kangaroo Rat

Koalas primarily get their hydration from eucalyptus leaves. They rarely drink water, relying on the moisture in their food.

Koala

This lizard collects dew from its skin and channels it to its mouth, so it doesn’t need to drink water.

Australian Thorny Devil

This desert scorpion extracts all necessary moisture from its prey, surviving without direct water sources.

Fat Tailed Scorpion

This beetle, living in dry environments, absorbs moisture from its food and doesn’t need to drink water.

Creepy-Crawly Beetle

Some animals, like the kangaroo rat, koala, Australian thorny devil, fat-tailed scorpion, and creepy-crawly beetle, manage to survive without drinking water directly.

They get their hydration from their food or other unique adaptations suited to their environments.
