18. Membrane water channels control water content of cells.

"Aquaporins are membrane water channels that play critical roles in controlling the water contents of cells. They form tetramers in the cell membrane, and facilitate the transport of water and, in some cases, other small solutes across the membran...

19. Capturing prey above the water's surface: archer fish

"Further animal artefacts that resemble tools include the woodpecker's anvil, a tree stump with a suitable wedgelike cavity to hold cones, the use of a water jet to shoot down prey by the archer fish (Trichogaster jaculatrix), and the Australian b...

20. Body temperature regulated in hot environment: African camels

"When African camels (Camelus dromedarius) do not get enough water, their body temperature's amplitude (the difference between its highest and lowest values) increases from 3.6°F (2°C) to as much as 10.8°F (6°C)." (Shuker 2001:91)
