Why Desert Lizards Sneeze

Why do some lizards sneeze out salt? 🦎💨

Rocky, a common chuckwalla, lives in a desert where water is scarce. Her body filters salt from her bloodstream through special nasal glands. When enough builds up, she sneezes it out, leaving behind crusty white marks. This adaptation helps her conserve water and avoid dehydration in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
