A loss of approximately 10-15% of body water can be fatal to most animals, though this can vary by species. Animals can typically survive a loss of about 5% without severe consequences, but exceeding 10% often leads to critical dehydration and potentially death. Factors such as the animal's size, health, and environment can influence these thresholds.
