That a green turtle can stay submerged for 5 hours on one breath ??

and that it can slow its heart beat down to 1 beat every 5 minutes ?


I never knew that , saw it on telley last night , they had a camera attached to a green turtle

There are some fish that can stay submerged longer than that.

yes lives on the galapios coast . lives on the rocks & breaths via the waves washing up on the rocks , but it has to be careful it does not get swept out to sea due to its inability to swim was on the telley as well

Also A Blue Whale all 200 tons of it . Its heart is as big as a small car (mini) technically u could actually swim through some of its blood vessels

And they put a camera on a fish eagle . The Uk.s largest wild bird (I think) has a wing span of 8 feet.

they were hunted to extinction in the UK . Last one was shot in 1918 . They were reintroduced into the UK via the fish eagles that are native to Norway .

they have been recorded flying at a height of 10,000 feet & can spot there prey from 2 miles away

That's probably why they don't go any higher.
