Narwhals have relatively large lungs compared to their body size, which allows them to hold their breath for extended periods while diving for food. They can dive to depths of up to 1,500 meters (about 4,900 feet) and can stay underwater for up to 25 minutes. Their lung structure is adapted for efficient gas exchange, enabling them to thrive in their Arctic habitats.
