They have incredible lungs.
The most recent research (2013) from the University of California indicates that the Emperor Penguin can remain underwater for up to 27 minutes. This is longer than any other species of penguin.
A penguin can stay underwater for about 15 minutes and go to a depth of 1700 feet.
Emperor Penguins can stay under water for about up to 20 minutes!
A polar bear can stay underwater for 7- 9 minutes but they usually prefer to go for 6- 7 minutes...Its gives them enough time to hunt underwater...After 7 minutes they start struggling for air... While hunting they hold their breath for 1- 3 minutes and come up and as soon as they see their prey, they use their average capacity i.e. 5- 6 minutes...
about half an hour i think :P
Monk seals can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes at a time, but they typically average around 8-12 minutes per dive. They are skilled divers that can reach depths of around 1,000 feet while hunting for food.
Penguins can hold their breath underwater for an average of around 5-10 minutes, although some species have been known to stay submerged for up to 20 minutes. Their ability to hold their breath for extended periods helps them hunt for food while swimming.
Chinstrap penguins can typically hold their breath for around 1-2 minutes while diving underwater to feed on fish and krill. They have evolved efficient respiratory adaptations that allow them to stay submerged and hunt for food in the cold Antarctic waters.
Oh, dude, like, orcas are like the cool kids of the ocean, you know? They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes without coming up for air. It's like they're playing a game of underwater hide-and-seek, but they're really good at it. So, yeah, about 15 minutes, give or take.
Well, it depends on the penguin. A macaroni penguin can hold its breath for 20+ minutes, but a fairy penguin can only hold its breath for 15 or less minutes.
between 60- 75 minutes at most! :PP ..... cuz im a cool kid knowig the answer to this question.......
If the manatee is active, it can stay underwater around 4 minutes at a time. If it is resting, it can continue submerged for 20 minutes. They have a slow metabolism, so they don't need as much oxygen as animals with a faster metabolism. And manatees can only be out of the water for 30 minutes.
