  • Did you know that some turtles can actually breathe through their butts?

    Yeah, it sounds strange, but it’s true! Known scientifically as "cloacal respiration", this unusual feature helps certain freshwater turtles, like the Australian Fitzroy River turtle, get oxygen without using their lungs. When hibernating in cold water, their bodies adapt to conserve energy by absorbing oxygen directly through blood vessels in—you guessed it—their rear ends!
