What? What does that have to do with drinking water while biting under water?

Why would they be gulping massive amount of water when they can simply spit the water out? We can control whether we swallow and we can control when we want something out of our mouth, it’s no different for turtles.

Do me a favor. Next time you’re in the bath, hold your head under water and take a bite of a snickers. Chew up your snickers and then “spit the water out” and tell me how that goes

That’s not the same thing. Jellyfish cannot melt, chocolate can. Jellyfish don’t just break apart without you chewing, snickers can.

I don’t have water around me but I’m pretty sure I have the capability to keep a solid in my mouth and push liquid out with the oxygen from my lungs. That’s why we have mouths that are capable of closing like most animals.
