Reply to comment by XColdLogicX in How dogs scoop up water. by ooMEAToo

If a wolf is drinking from a natural puddle, any water it spills goes back into the puddle. So "efficiency" didn't matter.

Edit: Unless you mean inefficient as in slow rather than wasteful of water. Moderately slow drinking could actually be a feature. Lots of animals are slow drinkers.

Inefficient. You think an animal that has been around for millenia would have evolved a better way to drink. Perhaps through straws or osmosis?

Do dogs have the capability to drink using suction? I've seen videos of snakes drinking on Reddit, could a dog drink like that?
