@charlottepiho —Mid week snooze! Sea turtles can’t breathe underwater, but they have the remarkable ability to hold their breath for extended periods, typically ranging from 4 to 7 hours while at rest. During this breath-holding period, their heart rate slows considerably, sometimes allowing up to nine minutes to elapse between heartbeats. 🎥 @charlottepiho 📍Hawaii 🇺🇸 | Earthpix

Did you know? As reptiles, sea turtles breathe air, but they have the ability, under natural conditions, to remain submerged for hours at a time. They even sleep underwater. Most sea turtles spend their entire life at sea, only returning to nesting beaches to lay eggs. 📷the_travelicious_foodie 🌊⛱️🏖️🐚👙 Website: https://balabac.ph IG: https://www.instagram.com/balabacpalawan/ #balabac #balabacpalawan #onokisland #candaramanisland #puntasebaring #mansalangansandbar #thewanderwalkers #balabacis
