    not true – for the turtle to breath through its butt, it would have to suck in air through its mouth, transfer it to its stomach, the through its intestines, and out its butt, wich is physically impossible. or vice-versa for it to suck air in through its butt and through its mouth

    Man! – What if it farts? Does it come out of it’s mouth? Turtles, please be specific. They are hundreds of turtles, land or water, that have nostrils. I don’t know, does a female breathe when she’s breeding with a male? Does she hold it in? And about when it lays eggs? Do they get constipated? Common sense, people!

    It is very true – Facts… – Turtles have two special sets of respiratory muscles. One set pulls the body contents outward, toward the openings at the front and rear of the shell. This expands the body cavity and draws air into the lungs, which are located in the top part of the shell. The other pushes the viscera up against the lungs to expel the air. This system has the drawback that both inhalation and exhalation require energy–in most vertebrates, elastic energy can be recovered from the rib cage so that exhalation requires little exertion. Turtles have extraordinary anaerobic capacity–they have survived up to 33 hours in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. (Most reptiles have a high anaerobic capacity compared to mammals, but even they can’t survive much more than 30 minutes without oxygen.) Although basically air-breathing, many aquatic species have developed ways to pick up oxygen even when submerged. Of these the most remarkable, which some turtles share with dragonfly nymphs, sea cucumbers, and certain televangelists, is the ability to breathe through one’s butt.

    And??? – I know many people who SPEAK out of their butt, ie. many people on this site, so who cares if turtles can breath out theirs??? Good for them for having such an awesome, if slightly weird, adaption…
