Some species can even excrete the excess minerals through specially adapted salt glands.

有些物种甚至可以通过特别适应的盐腺排出多余的矿物质。

Reptiles today that live in saltwater, like crocodiles and sea turtles, have salt glands in their eyes, nose, or mouth that remove excess salt from their blood and prevent an overload of sodium.

今天生活在盐水中的爬行动物，如鳄鱼和海龟， 在它们的眼睛、鼻子或嘴巴中都有盐腺，可以去除血液中多余的盐分， 防止钠超载。

Metriorhynchids and other extinct marine reptiles had especially large nasal salt glands, which we know because paleontologists have been able to study these structures in a few incredibly rare internal casts of their snouts.

Metriorhynchids 和其他已灭绝的海洋爬行动物有特别大的鼻盐腺，我们知道这是因为古生物学家已经能够在一些极其罕见的鼻子内部模型中研究这些结构。
