Well I never knew that! Musk breathing underwater using its tongue!
Just found this and thought I'd share it. I had often wondered if/how they did it.

Well I had heard that some turtles can breath through their 'behinds' which I found kind of funny so thought I would look into it.
Its a good skill they should be proud of!

That is a very interesting paper
 I think they will find that very few turtles actually get much oxygen from their butts.  Danny
