Leatherback sea turtles breathe air through lungs, similar to mammals. They surface to inhale oxygen, typically taking a breath every few minutes while swimming, though they can hold their breath for up to 85 minutes when diving. Their ability to manage oxygen efficiently allows them to dive deep and for extended periods while foraging for jellyfish and other prey.
