How Turtles Breathe Through Their Butts (Seriously) | Unknow But True

When winter locks ponds beneath ice, most animals escape or hibernate — but turtles have a survival trick that sounds impossible. Some species can literally breathe through their butts. In this episode of Unknown But True, we dive into the science of cloacal respiration, the strange process that lets turtles absorb oxygen underwater through sacs near their tails. You’ll learn how their metabolism slows, how their shells help neutralize acid buildup, and how this bizarre adaptation lets them survive for months beneath frozen lakes. Featuring species like the Australian Fitzroy River turtle and the North American painted turtle, this is one of the wildest examples of evolution in the animal kingdom — and proof that turtles are anything but slow. #unknownbuttrue #turtlefacts #animalfacts #biology #wildlife #evolution #nature #science #documentary #educationalvideo #naturalhistory #animaladaptations #cloacalrespiration #turtlebreathing #freshwaterturtles #paintedturtle #fitzroyriverturtle #reptiles #oxygenexchange #hibernation #winterwildlife #survivalinstincts #naturedocumentary #weirdscience #interestingfacts #didyouknow #learnsomethingnew #animaldocumentary #wildlifescience #turtleanatomy
