The NOAA estimates the oceans at 321,003,271 cubic miles or 1.338e21 L (1.3 sextillion). Dividing those out and you get 0.0002%, or 1 in 500,000 parts Human pee.
A blue whale, given its larger size, and we assume a whale urinates at least 4 times per day, produces 1200 litres of urine per day, and could have a bladder capacity of 300 litres or 80 gallons.
If you're swimming in the ocean and want to urinate, go right ahead. Your ten or fifteen ounces of urine a being diluted by about 1.35 SEXTILLION liters of water.
When it comes to pee production, whales are world champs. A single fin whale is thought to produce around 1,000 liters (260 gallons) of urine each day — enough to fill a 10-by-6-foot kiddie pool.
Nitrogen (which is found in urine) causes algae to grow, and this is detrimental to coral. Additionally, drug chemicals in the human body which are passed into the sea by urine can cause damage to coral reefs by altering the balance of microbes.
Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.
An elephant will urinate approximately 13 gallons (50 liters) throughout the day, voiding 3 gallons (10 liters) each time they urinate. That's the equivalent of 5 bottles of soda each time.
In Alaska, wood frogs go eight months without peeing. And scientists have now figured out how they do it, or more accurately, how they survive without doing it. Recycling urea — the main waste in urine — into useful nitrogen keeps the small frogs alive as they hibernate and freeze, inside and out.
An elephant's bladder is about 1 1/2 feet tall. But its urethra is three feet long. If you could fit inside the end of the elephant's urethra, you'd feel the pressure of 4 1/2 feet of urine above you: the three-foot urethra plus the 1 1/2-foot bladder.
Human urine is composed primarily of water (95%). The rest is urea (2%), creatinine (0.1%), uric acid (0.03%), chloride, sodium, potassium, sulphate, ammonium, phosphate and other ions and molecules in lesser amounts30 (Table 1). Protein is only found in trace amounts compared to their values in blood plasma.
Urine is about 95% water and 5% waste products. Nitrogenous wastes excreted in urine include urea, creatinine, ammonia, and uric acid. Ions such as sodium, potassium, hydrogen, and calcium are also excreted.
Urine is a liquid waste material produced in and excreted by the body. Secreted by the renal tubules, it accumulates in the urinary bladder and is excreted via the urethra. While it is composed of 91 to 96 percent water, it contains many other components, both solid and liquid.
According to BBC, the sperm whale is perceived to be louder than the blue whale. A blue whale's call is 20 Hz and a sperm whale's click is about 10,000 Hz. The sperm whale registers at 230 dB while the blue whale is at 188 dB.
Since it is a sperm whale byproduct and is banned to collect in the majority of nations due to the need to hunt endangered sperm whales, it is precious as well. Ambergris may be highly pricey due to its scarcity and great demand, with prices occasionally reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars per pound.
According to wildlifetrip.org, the 10 largest whales are as follows: Blue Whale - 98 feet. Fin Whale - 90 feet. Sperm Whale - 67 feet.
In general, it should take about 20 seconds to pee. You can set a timer, or simply by counting “one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi,” Dr. Miller says. If you're significantly over or under 20 seconds, you're likely holding your pee too long or going too often.
Nerves in the bladder wall detect the expansion and send a signal to the brain, letting it know that the bladder is full. The urinary bladder can store up to 500 ml of urine in women and 700 ml in men. People already feel the need to urinate (pee) when their bladder has between 200 and 350 ml of urine in it.
Basically, if you time yourself peeing (over a period of time, not just one sitting) and find that you take significantly longer or shorter than 21 seconds, it can indicate that you are holding it in for too long, or not enough.
In Alaska, wood frogs go eight months without peeing. And scientists have now figured out how they do it, or more accurately, how they survive without doing it.
Asian elephant sperm measures about 56 micrometers (0.002 inches), while mouse sperm is about 124 micrometers (0.005 inches). Although mouse sperm is much larger, mice only release 9.5 million of them — compared to more than 200 billion sperm ejaculated by an elephant.
Can you drink boiled seawater? No. Boiling seawater does not make it safe to drink because it doesn't remove the salt. Freshwater on the other hand - say from a river - can be boiled to make it safe enough to drink.
If you're in a survivalist situation, you're likely extremely dehydrated and the concentrations are very high. At this desperate point in time, drinking your urine—and putting those pollutants back into your system—can cause a build-up of toxic levels. It's for this same reason that it's so dangerous to drink seawater.
A higher than normal urine sodium level may be due to: Certain medicines, such as water pills (diuretics) Low function of the adrenal glands. Inflammation of the kidney that results in salt loss (salt-losing nephropathy)
