Because most animals can taste water much better than humans. They have more taste buds that can actually identify a difference in flavour between a pond, a puddle, and the ocean.

And if you wanna go even simpler, try drinking a glass of seawater. Not very pleasant, most creatures quickly learn to just go for fresh water
