The turtle often stays in the water, so many people think that the turtle does not need to come out of the water and can stay in the water all the time. In fact, turtles also need to be out of the water regularly, because they can not breathe in the water, but need to be above the surface of the water. The respiratory organs used by soft-shelled turtles are familiar to us. They use lungs to breathe, which are the same as those of humans and many other mammals. In addition, soft-shelled turtles also have some gill-like tissues to assist breathing, while their skin also has a certain role in assisting breathing.
Turtles breathe differently from humans and most other animals. Turtles can submerge for a long time after a breath. Human beings need to breathe all the time, and the time they can hold their breath is relatively short, while turtles can hold their breath for a long time. Generally speaking, they can hold their breath in the water for half an hour to an hour after a breath. In addition, there will be a better water turtle, which can persist for several hours.
The above has been introduced, the turtle can hold its breath in the water for a long time after breathing once, generally in half an hour to an hour, good water can persist for several hours. However, even if they are good at water, they need to breathe out of water. If they stay in the water for a long time, they will also threaten their lives. If they are raised in captivity, they can be specially prepared with a table so that they can climb up and breathe.
