Do porpoise breathe from gills or nostrils?

Porpoises breathe through nostrils, not gills. As marine mammals, they have lungs and surface to inhale air through a blowhole located on the top of their heads. This adaptation allows them to breathe efficiently while swimming. Unlike fish, which use gills to extract oxygen from water, porpoises rely on air from the atmosphere.


What animal can close it's nostrils?

Many animals can close their nostrils, but one notable example is the dolphin. Dolphins close their blowholes, which are located on top of their heads, to prevent water from entering while they dive or swim underwater. Other animals, like some species of seals and certain reptiles, can also close their nostrils to adapt to their aquatic or terrestrial environments. This ability helps them manage breathing in various conditions.
