During winter, many water turtles enter a state of brumation, a period of dormancy similar to hibernation. They typically bury themselves in the mud at the bottom of ponds or lakes, where they remain inactive and rely on stored energy for survival. Some species can absorb oxygen from the water through their skin, allowing them to breathe while remaining submerged. This adaptation enables them to survive in cold temperatures until spring when they become active again.
