Sea lions breathe air through their nostrils when they are on land. However, unlike most land living mammals, they are 'voluntary breathers'. They do not breathe unconsciously as we do.
When they dive into the water, their nostrils automatically close, and they hold their breath. They dramatically reduce their heart rate when they dive to help conserve oxygen and stay under water as long as possible.
