Sea turtles live in the ocean, but they don’t have gills, so how do they survive underwater for so long? Here are some surprising facts that every ocean lover should know: 🌊 1. They Breathe Air, Just Like Us Sea turtles have lungs, not gills, so they must surface to breathe. 🐢 2. Incredible Breath-Holding Abilities When resting, they can hold their breath for 4 to 7 hours. While swimming, they come up for air every few minutes. 💨 3. Super-Fast Breathers They only need 1–2 seconds at the surface before diving again! 🌙 4. Nighttime Adaptation While sleeping, their heart rate slows down dramatically—conserving oxygen and allowing them to stay underwater even longer. 🧭 Want to See Sea Turtles in the Wild?
