Seals can't breath underwater, so they have to come to the surface for air.
They come up frome the water and breath. Mammals do not breath under water
how does a galapagos penguin breath
They hold their breath.
Seals are mammals. They Breathe with lungs, through their nostrils and mouth. Pretty much just like you and I.Unlike other animals,a seal takes a deep breath before plunging back into water,so in a way seal holds its breath while in water, but if you're asking what organ they breathe with they breathe with their lungs.They bob up to the surface and open there nostrils and breath, then go back under.Hope this helped!Just like we do. If underwater they must hold their breath until they come to the surface.
They don't breath underwater. They can only breath air. (They can hold their breath a long time though.)
Rhinos don't sleep underwater, but hippos do, they rise to the surface and breath at regular intervals without waking.
Seals dive for fish underwater, some might sleep underwater. But 6 types of seals live in antarctica! Seals breath air but do spend a lot of time underwater holding their breath. Sometime seals prefer to breath the air trapped under the ice then come to the surface. They would live mostly in the cold area because they have blubber fur.
Holding you're breath is something that is not taught it is just done. The SEALs train their minds by doing underwater swims and drown proofing.
Elephant Seals do not live underwater because they are mammals and need to breath! Just like us, they have fat to keep them warm in the Sub-antarctic climate
Seals are correctly defined as aquatic mammals, in that they breathe air in the same way as we do, but spend at least half of their lives in water and are able to hold their breath for long periods of time whilst swimming underwater.
they can hold their breath under the waters surface for abiout 2-3 minutes
Holding your breath underwater is when your head/face is underwater and you do not breath.
Hippos can't "breath" underwater but they can hold their breath for long periods of time.

No. Human beings cannot breath underwater at all without an external source of air.
Mammals cannot breath water. Dolphins, whales, seals, walruses, and other aquatic mammals all have lungs and breath air. They seem as if they are breathing water because of the assumption that they have to breath as often as we do. However, aquatic mammals can actually hold their breath much longer, ranging from around 10min for a walrus to over an hour for some whales.The reason they can do this has to do with the construction of their lungs and the Diving Reflex, which slows heart rate (among other things).Mammals, such as whales and dolphins, have to hold their breath while underwater. They all have lungs and breath air and would drown if they tried to breath underwater. However, they can hold their breath for a long time (over an hour for some whales).
they don't.
they have gills.
