Loons breathe through lungs, similar to other birds, but they have a unique physiological adaptation that allows them to dive deeply for extended periods. They have a high capacity for oxygen storage in their blood and muscles, enabling them to hold their breath while underwater. When they surface, they can quickly inhale and exhale to replenish their oxygen supply before diving again. Their specialized respiratory system supports their lifestyle as aquatic hunters.
