Green sea turtles are one of the most interesting species out of all of the sea turtles. These creatures are able to stay under the water for an entire five hours if they have to. Of course, it typically does not take them that long to find food, so in most cases, they are only underwater for a few minutes at a time. You may be wondering how it is possible for an animal that breathes oxygen to stay underwater for so long. This is because green sea turtles are able to slow their heartbeats down in order to save oxygen. If they have to, green sea turtles can slow their bodies down so much that their heart beats once every nine minutes.
