How long can a lizard hold it's breath?

Various species of crocodiles can stay submerged for longer than others, and young ones generally cannot last as long as adults. Also, most will swim on the surface so they can still get air.The Nile Crocodile has been observed to spend up to two hours submerged, and the Australian saltwater species is reported to stay under even longer. The average dive is considerably less, just a few minutes.A crocodile can stay underwater for three to five minutes.Most crocodiles spent very little time diving and holing their breath. Most stay near the surface where they can have the oxygen necessary to attack prey.The Nile Crocodile has been observed submerged for 2 hours, and the saltwater species in Australia for more than 2 hours. But this is not their usual behavior.A crocodile can stay under water for a maximum of 30 minutes, any longer and it may drown.Approximately 2 hours
