How long can turtles hold their breath?

Did you know that some turtles can hold their breath for up to 10 hours? That's a long time! They can only do this though in colder water when they are effectively hibernating. More commonly they come to the surface every 4-5 minutes when they are actively feeding.

We hope you like it.
