Flexi answers - Do fish get thirsty? (2)

Flexi Says: Thirst is usually defined as a need or desire to drink water. It is unlikely that fish have such a driving force. Fish have gills that allow them to “breathe” oxygen dissolved in the water. Water enters the mouth, passes over the gills, and exits the body through a special opening. This keeps an adequate amount of water in their bodies and they don't feel thirsty.
