How long can turtles breathe under water?
Feeding snapping turtles can stay underwater for a few hours. They can stay under so long because they do not need to burn oxygen to make their own heat because they are cold-blooded. Metabolizing oxygen at a very low rate is the key to a turtle's ability to stay underwater for long periods. For example, during winter hibernation, a turtle will bury himself in the mud at the bottom of a pond or lake. The water surrounding the turtle will remain at about 39 degrees F and will not freeze, allowing the turtle to extract oxygen from the water. The turtle's heart will only beat one time every 10 minutes during hibernation.Please sight a reference before putting inane remarks here. Snapping turtles are a fascination of of mine because of their unique pulmonary systems (easily the most efficient in the world).
