Thanks for showing that diagram, I've always wondered what they looked like inside. I didnt realise that the lungs ran along the top part of the shell!!!

Makes it easy to see why their breathing is more difficult when they're inverted too - all their organs squashing the lungs.

Hi

Just read your reply and it got me looking! I've found the exact(?) image on the website below - about the 5th page.
