Turtles breathe the usage of lungs like humans, but they can live on for hours without oxygen. When they are swimming, they need to come up to the surface to breathe periodically. Some, like the Fitzroy River turtle, have a pair of air sacs near their rear end, in which they save air when they are underwater.
