How long can a bat survive submerged underwater?

Answer 1

Yes, if you're talking about the traditional vampire, as they don't need to breathe.

Actually they do breath - their method of processing energy is much the same as that for living people, metabolizing oxygen and organic fuel. Oxygen from water however isn't as effectively obtained by lungs as it is by gills so a vampire underwater isn't as active as one in air. A vampire however cannot be drowned. He may be rendered comatose, but as soon as he gets back to air he will revive. Certain vampires have been known to be buried for hundreds of years and still be perfectly active when they are freed.

Answer 2

Yes, all fish can breathe underwater, though some fish are able to breathe air as well, for short periods of time.

There are certain aquatic mammals, such as dolphins and whales, which can NOT breathe under water. These can often be mistaken for fish, but they are mammals, like humans.

Answer 3

Bats often get trapped in swimming pools after approaching for a drink of water, and lots of animals drown every year. Bats have to swoop in for a drink on the fly. If they miscalculate their approach and end up in the water, they can swim but will drown eventually if there is no way for them to climb out.

Answer 4

Most bats would drown in a couple of minutes - they are not aquatic animals so they can't breathe under water. In addition, because they are not normally in the water, their capacity to hold their breath is limited.
