Turtles can breathe underground by utilizing their ability to take in oxygen through their skin and other membranes, such as the lining of their cloaca. Some species, like the Australian Fitzroy River turtle, can absorb oxygen from water through specialized structures. Additionally, when buried, they can slow their metabolism to reduce oxygen needs, allowing them to survive in low-oxygen environments for extended periods.
