The duration a mammal can stay underwater varies significantly by species. For example, dolphins typically hold their breath for 10 to 15 minutes, while some seals can dive for over an hour. The sperm whale is known for deep dives, often lasting up to 90 minutes. Overall, the underwater duration is influenced by factors such as the mammal's size, physiology, and habitat.
