    The Loon eats fish. It has to go into the salt water to get the fish.
    Salt water is in the fish so the Loon also eats it. Loons have special
    adaptations to handle salty water and fish. They have salt glands in
    between their eyes. Even very young chicks have the ability to remove
    salt if they consume salty fish.
